Yes, it's true, these two teams did play on Wednesday night but a dress rehearsal might not be a perfect fit. Because Robbie Neilson kept several head-turners in reserve and is looking to catch the eye by defeating Celtic and securing yet another trip to Hampden for his Jambos and push on for trophy glory.
But the opposition are formidable and Celtic have lost only two domestic games since September 2021 – the task is tall if Hearts fans are to experience a day to remember in the marquee weekend fixture.
And Celtic have the added motivation of trying to secure a Treble – their fifth in seven seasons if they pull it off. Ange Postecoglou knows his Premiership title leaders will need to be at their best in Gorgie and that's what makes this tie a potential classic in the making.
Expect plenty of noise, colour and nail–biting action as both teams aims to secure a day to remember. Join us LIVE for all the latest ahead of kick-off with team news, build-up and analysis.
