Celtic vs Hearts sees the second-and third-placed teams in the Scottish Premier League go head to head at the Tynecastle Stadium later this evening.
Ange Postecoglou’s side has been on a tremendous run of form of late, picking up 13 points from the last 15 available and winning in the Scottish Cup last time out.
Hearts, however, are no pushover. Robbie Neilson’s side could move to within six points of Celtic with a home win tonight and will have its sites set firmly on European qualification at the end of the year.
Regardless of the outcome, Hearts vs Celtic is one of the biggest games in the SPL outside of the Old Firm Derby. So, for a full match preview, the latest odds, betting tips, and details on an excellent free bet promotion at Betfred, read on:

Hearts vs Celtic prediction
Robbie Nielson’s Hearts have been in great form of late, winning four successive games on the bounce in all comps and taking 12 points from the maximum of 15 available in the Scottish Premiership en route.
In the club’s last match, Hearts hit Auchinleck Talbot for five, with goals from Andy Halliday, Peter Haring, Alex Cochrane, and a brace from Liam Boyce securing a big W in the 4th-Round of the Scottish Cup.
On current form, Hearts are the firm favorites to qualify for either the Europa or Europa Conference League next season (depending on what happens in the Cup).
Celtic have also been in great form recently, taking 13 points from the last 15 available to them in the league. A goal from Celtic’s Japanese star, Kyogo Furuhashi, was also enough to defeat Hearts the last time these two teams met.
Furuhashi (hamstring) is injured for -reportedly- the rest of the season. But, even minus arguably their best player, Celtic are unbeaten in 11 games and gaining ground on Rangers in the table.
Hoops fans have only seen their side in action once since the winner break. Like Hearts, Celtic won in the Scottish Cup 4th-Round, 2-1, thanks to strikes from Giorgos Giakoumakis and Liel Abada.
With Rangers facing an easy-enough home task against Livingstone this evening, another win for Celtic away at a good Hearts side tonight will rubberstamp their championship credentials and cement Postecoglou’s men as real contenders to wrestle back possession of the SPL title from the Old Enemy – something they haven’t had to do in almost a decade!
It’s a BIG game for Hearts, but it’s an even bigger game for the in-form Bhoys. Hence, if we have to pick a winner…

Given both teams’ excellent league standings at present, there is a chance that this game goes down to the wire and is very close.
