Team’s Up – Turnbull starts, Kyogo up front

Ange Postecoglou has named his team for this afternoon’s game between Celtic and Hearts. The manager has decided to go with David Turnbull in the middle for his first start in some time.

In goals, Joe Hart starts. The Englishman conceded once last week but pulled off a couple fantastic saves as Rangers threatened to score a late winner.

In defence, the manager has gone with Tony Ralston, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Carl Starfelt and Greg Taylor.

In midfield, Matt O’Riley joins captain Callum McGregor in the middle of the pitch. They are joined by the returning David Turnbull, who makes his first start since The League Cup Final in December.

In attack, Jota starts on the right, Maeda on the left with Kyogo up front.

On the bench: Bain, Bitton, Giakoumakis, Abada, McCarthy, Rogic, Hatate, Forrest & Welsh.

A draw against Rangers last weekend helped ensure that it would be extremely unlikely that the Ibrox side could mount a late challenge for the league; however, it also meant that Celtic couldn’t mathematically win it this afternoon. As it stands, Celtic are six points clear with a plus 19 goal difference.
