Brendan Rodgers and Neil Critchley have named their starting lineups for the Premiership’s late game on Saturday.

Celtic travel to Tynecastle to take on Hearts with a 7.45pm kick-off.

The Hoops have a chance to go three-points clear at the top of the table after Aberdeen lost at St Mirren.

They could also move eleven points ahead of city-rivals Rangers if they can leave the capital with a victory after Philippe Clement’s side were held to a draw by Dundee United at Ibrox.

Meanwhile the home side will be aiming for a win that will take them out of the bottom two.

Three points in Gorgie would see them leapfrog Kilmarnock into tenth and potentially ahead of Dundee who are playing Hibernian.

Cricthley starts with Craig Gordon in goals behind Kent, Rowles, Penrice, Oyegoke, Baningime, Devlin, Spittal, Boateng, Forrest and Shankland.

Meanwhile Celtic have Schmeichel behind a back four of Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty and Taylor.

Captain Callum McGregor anchors a three-man midfield beside Engels and Hatate with Kuhn and Maeda either side of Kyogo up-top.
