SNS GroupBrendan Rodgers and Steven Naismith have named their starting elevens for Saturday’s Premiership clash at Celtic Park.
Hearts travel to Parkhead to take on the champions as league action returns following a two-week international break.
The hosts will be aiming to keep up their 100% start after winning their first five games of the new season.
Naismith’s men, on the other hand, are looking to kick-start their campaign after losing six and drawing one of their opening seven games.
Despite their disappointing start they can take some faith from the fact they defeated the Hoops twice in the league last season, once in Glasgow and once in Edinburgh.
Celtic have started the season in fine form and currently sit at the top of the table following their 3-0 win over Rangers in the last game before the break.
Brendan Rodgers has made one change from that derby victory as he hands record signing Arne Engels his first start in place of Paulo Bernardo.
So that means Kasper Schmeichel, who has yet to concede a league goal this season, is in goals with a back four of Alistair Johnston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales and Greg Taylor.
Captain Callum McGregor was named the Premiership’s Player of the Month for August and he anchors a three-man midfield beside Engels and Reo Hatate.
Kyogo Furuhashi leads a three-man attack with Nicolas Kuhn and Daizen Maeda on either side of him.
Naismith has Craig Gordon in goals behind Stephen Kingsley, Craig Halkett, Kye Rowles, James Penrice and Gerald Taylor.
Jorge Grant, Malachi Boateng and Beni Baningime are in midfield with Kenneth Vargas supporting Lawrence Shankland up top.
