- Competition: Scottish Premiership

- Kickoff: 19:45 GMT / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Celtic Park
Celtic will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the table to twelve points when they take on Hearts on Wednesday night.
There is no better way for a team to go into a game, in fact, the hosts have won each of their last eleven games in all competitions. At home, they have also won each of their eleven games, and considering they have scored at least three times in each of their last five home games, Wednesday's game should be full of goals.
After a series of inconsistent results, Celtics will go into this game full of confidence, having beaten St. Johnstone 3-0 last weekend. However, Celtic Park has not been a good venue for Robbie Neilson's men in recent years. They have lost each of their last six games at this venue, which means they will need a miracle to leave this game with three points.
Celtic vs Hearts Betting Tips: BTTS
Hearts are not good travelers as they have won only one of their last six away games in the league. Their last three away games ended with less than 2.5 goals, which shows that they have been tight at the back in their away games lately.
Still, we think Celtic have more than enough in them to score at least three times and take all three points.

Celtic Team News
In the comfortable 5-1 win against ST. Mirren on Sunday afternoon, Celtic did not suffer any injuries, so it won't be a surprise if Ange Postecoglou starts the same team.
The 57-year-old boss brought on Liel Abada at half-time when trailing by one goal, and the substitute did not disappoint as he was involved in the goals.
Furuhashi, who is the hosts' top scorer with 22 goals this season, has not scored in his last two league games, but the Japanese is expected to keep his place upfront.
