1245: Aiden McGeady leads a quick counter attack for Celtic and plays in Georgios Samaras on the left but the Greek striker's low shot is palmed wide by keeper Marian Kello.

mem on My Sport: "From the early going it looks like Hearts arent prepard to commit too many men forward, when they are hitting long balls their strikers are very isolated against the Celtic defence."

1243: Georgios Samaras drives at the Hearts defence but his shot is high and wide.

1241: Celtic striker Georgios Samaras gets on the end of a back-post cross but heads into the arms of Marian Kello.

1240: The first shot on target! Eggert Jonsson collects the ball about 25 yards out and drives towards the Celtic goal but keeper Artur Boruc makes a comfortable save.

1239: Scott McDonald gets an early sight at the Hearts goal but the Celtic striker's effort is off target.

"As we expected it's fast, it's furious , it's frantic. It's a good game." BBC Radio Scotland pundit John Robertson

1235: Celtic win a corner and Barry Robson's dangerous delivery is punched clear by Hearts goalkeeper Marian Kello.

"It's going to take 10 minutes to settle down. Hearts are on the front foot." Hibernian manager John Hughes on BBC Radio Scotland.

1233: Hearts win two early free-kicks but Celtic clear their lines on both occasions.

1230: And we're off.

1227: We're fast approaching kick-off and the pitch looks in good condition in spite of the wintry conditions.

"They did well on Thursday night, but I think the team, over the last four to six weeks, have performed to a level that enabled us to win football matches and everybody is fit, so we go with the same again" Celtic manager Tony Mowbray

DavidAttenborough on My Sport: "Nade missing out today? Hearts fans must be loving it!"


"I feel for Csaba, I really do. He has been looking for that striker that will score him goals and he has not been able to get him in." Hibernian manager John Hughes

"That Hearts line-up, I hope I'm eating at the humble pie at the end of it, but it looks a bit lightweight to me." BBC Radio Scotland pundit and former Hearts striker John Robertson

"The last game, we won at Celtic Park and we must do that at Tynecastle. The young players can show that we have a good academy. They had a good game last week. Scott Robinson, it's his second game from the beginning and hopefully he will get more and more confidence." Hearts manager Csaba Laszlo

1210: Today's referee is Willie Collum.

1209: Celtic team: Boruc, Hinkel, Caldwell, Loovens, Daniel Fox, Crosas, N'Guemo, Robson, McGeady, McDonald, Samaras. Subs: Zaluska, McManus, Fortune, McGinn, Zhi, Carey, Caddis.

1207: Hearts team: Kello, Craig Thomson, Bouzid, Goncalves, Wallace, Templeton, Michael Stewart, Jonsson, Palazuelos, Robinson, Mole. Subs: Ridgers, Kucharski, Nade, Novikovas, Zaliukas, Glen, Mulrooney.

1206: Team news from Tynecastle. Two changes for Hearts with Laryea Kingston and David Obua making way for David Templeman and Ismael Bouzid. Celtic are all change from Thursday's Europa League clash with Rapid Vienna. Andreas Hinkel, Gary Caldwell, Danny Fox, Aiden McGeady, Barry Robson, Scott McDonald and Georgios Samaras return as Mark Wilson, Paul Caddis, Stephen McManus, Niall McGinn, Willo Flood, Marc-Antoine Fortune and Paul McGowan drop out.

1202: A win for Celtic would take them to within one point of SPL leaders Rangers, while a Hearts victory would move them up to seventh in the table.

1200: Good afternoon and welcome to another day of Scottish Premier League action, which sees Hearts host Celtic at Tynecastle.
