Hearts vs Celtic LIVE team news and build up ahead of the Premiership clash
It's been a day dominated by weather chaos but, as things stand, Hearts vs Celtic is all systems go under the lights in Gorgie.
Delayed kick-offs and call-offs have run riot up and down the SPFL and just two games out of 13 outwith the top flight survived the freeze. So far though every Premiership game has gone ahead - even if substantial delays were necessary to account for travel disruption. Now though all attentions turn to the capital where Brendan Rodgers and his team look to turn the screw on Aberdeen and Rangers, who both dropped points earlier today.
Neil Critchley has injected life into the Tynecastle side but they've still won just one from their last five and remain in peril at the bottom. The visit of Celtic is no short order but it's the kind of huge game that, if things go to plan, can revive your season.
Brendan Rodgers will be determined not to hand them any kind of reprieve. His team have won five on the spin since their draw with Atalanta and haven't lost since their demolition in Dortmund nearly two months ago.
It's set to be a corker in the cold and you can follow it all LIVE with us.
...before the actual team news.
Hearts could welcome attacker Yutaro Oda back following a two-month lay-off but Calem Nieuwenhof (hamstring) is still not ready to be considered for selection.
Cameron Carter-Vickers will be back in the Celtic squad with Odin Thiago Holm (calf) the champions’ only absentee.
Well, Dundee vs Hibs is still ongoing so it can change at the bottom.
For Hearts, a win would lift them to tenth, knocking Killie down the elventh on goal difference and sending Hibs to the bottom — where they were before they took the lead in Dundee.
A Celtic win would lift them three points clear of Aberdeen
