HEARTS warmed up for next weekend’s Scottish Cup Final with a six goal win over Queen of the South, sending a message to Celtic that they are up for the fight next Sunday at Hampden. The re-arranged 2020 Scottish Cup Final will be a repeat of the 2019 showpiece final with the Hoops running out 2-1 winners that day.

There were five different scores from Robbie Neilson’s side, with Naismith, Boyce (x2), Walker, Frear and Ginnelly scoring against the Dumfries side. Neil Lennon will likely watch this game ahead of the final in order to make sure that he identifies the risks to his side from the Championship side.
Celtic had endured a dismal run of two wins in twelve but a win over Lille seems to have lifted spirits around Celtic Park and they will be hoping to continue on from this win with a result over Killie on Sunday. There is added pressure for a win now that Hibernian beat Hamilton to go one point ahead of Celtic in second place.
🤩 Enjoy your weekend, Hibees!

Neil Lennon’s side have three games in hand and will need to get themselves into a run of form with a view to clawing back the 13 point lead Rangers have. A comprehensive win over Killie would do that, as well as acting as the perfect preparation for the Scottish Cup Final with Hearts.
