The loss in Ayrshire was a setback for Celtic, narrowing their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table from eight points to five. This weekend’s fixture is thus crucial for Celtic to reassert their dominance and maintain their position at the summit of the league, with Rangers not in league action.

Hearts, similarly, are coming into the game following a 2-1 loss to Aberdeen.

Both teams will be eager to bounce back from their respective defeats.

The officiating team for the match has been announced, with Kevin Clancy appointed as the referee. He will be assisted by David Roome and Jonathan Bell, while Duncan Williams will serve as the fourth official. The VAR team comprises Gavin Duncan as the Video Assistant Referee and Graeme Leslie as the Assistant Video Assistant Referee. [SFA]
