Hearts manager Steven Naismith has previewed Sunday’s Cinch Premiership clash against Celtic. The game will be an exciting game as Celtic look to continue their outstanding performance against Dundee and look to take revenge on the Jambos after they won at Celtic Park in December.
Naismith is confident in his own team while admitting that he is wary of Celtic and their ability to hurt his side.

After winning eight games on the bounce, Hearts were beaten 5-0 at Ibrox by Rangers before drawing against Hibs in the Edinburgh Derby during the week. In actual fact, Naismith’s team were lucky to escape with a point with Nick Montgomery’s side the better team.
In the first meeting between the teams this season, Celtic won 4-1 at Tynecastle before the teams met in December resulting in a 2-0 win for the Gorgie side at Celtic Park.
