The international break is over and for Ronny Deila's Celtic the visit of Hearts to the East End of Glasgow on Saturday afternoon represents an opportunity to consolidate their lead over Aberdeen at the top of the Premiership.

Hearts have enjoyed a measure of success against Celtic this season - drawing both League games, a goalless draw at Parkhead back in September and a 2-2 draw in Edinburgh at Christmas when a last-minute Osman Sow equaliser denied the visitors all three points.

Celtic Assistant Manager John Collins - whilst anticipating a challenging encounter - was quick to defend his side’s previous form against Saturday’s visitors.
