Celtic vs Hearts Team news :
Postecoglou used the same starting lineup against St. Mirren that won the Scottish League Cup final a week earlier. He also used the same substitutes, and against the Buddies, three of them scored. Because James McCarthy’s hamstring injury is the only fitness issue for the Bhoys, Postecoglou might be tempted to change his lineup before this weekend’s cup match away from home.
Due to fitness issues throughout the season, Hearts will be without first-choice goalkeeper Craig Gordon and center-back Craig Halkett for the foreseeable future. After suffering a foot fracture that necessitated surgery, Gary Mackay-Steven has not played for the Jambos since September.
The former Celtic winger may return this month, though Peter Haring (concussion) and Stephen Humphrys (illness) continue to raise questions. After recovering from cruciate ligament injuries, Liam Boyce and Beni Baningime have both resumed training. However, it is not anticipated that they will resume competitive play until May.
