Team’s Up – Ralston and Bernabei start

Ange Postecoglou has named his Celtic starting XI to take on Hearts under the lights at Celtic Park this evening in the cinch Premiership.

The Hoops will be looking for the three points to at the very least maintain their nine points advantage over nearest rivals theRangers. They play Hibs at Easter Road this evening and as usual will be hoping for a Celtic slip as they try to narrow the gap.

Ange Postecoglou goes with his settled first pick defence with Joe Hart in goals, Alistair Johnston and Greg Taylor get a rest ahead of the weekend’s Scottish Cup tie at Tynecastle with Anthony Ralston and Alexandro Bernabei starting as his fullbacks and the central defence partnership of Cameron Carter-Vickers and Carl Starfelt.

The captain Callum McGregor is joined in the middle of the park by Matt O’Riley and Aaron Mooy.

Liel Abada is on the right of the front three with Maeda on the left and Kyogo through the middle.

On the bench for Celtic this evening are Bain, Johnston Oh, Haksabanovic, Iwata, Turnbull, Kobayashi and Jota

Kick-off is at 7.45pm and if you can’t make the game it’s available on PPV via the official Celtic website.
