Fixture: Hearts vs Celtic
Competition: Scottish Premiership
Kick-off: 12:30 (UK time)
Celtic have named their starting eleven and substitutes to lock horns with Hearts in a Premiership fixture at Tynecastle this afternoon.
The Bhoys head into the match sitting top of the Premiership standings and with a two-point advantage over second placed Aberdeen, but boasting two games in hand on the Dons.
Boss Brendan Rodgers must continue to make do without winger Patrick Roberts, who has a hamstring injury, while Tom Rogic has been ruled out until the new year through a knee problem.
Rodgers picks Craig Gordon in goal, while at the back he selects Jozo Simunovic and Dedryck Boyata as the central pairing. Scott Brown and Olivier Ntcham will look to boss midfield, while James Forrest and Callum McGregor also play. Leigh Griffiths is up top.
If the Celtic manager needs to make any changes during the 90 minutes then he can look to his bench, where options available include Jonny Hayes and Moussa Dembele.
Celtic Team vs Hearts
Gordon, Lustig, Simunovic, Boyata, Tierney, Brown, Ntchamn, McGregor, Forrest, Sinclair, Griffiths
Substitutes: De Vries, Armstrong, Ajer, Dembele, Hayes, Edouard, Kouassi
