Celtic starting XI to face Hearts at Paradise | OneFootball

Celtic return to action today (Saturday) following the international break, and the Hoops play host to Hearts, aiming for three vital league points (KO: 3pm).

And Brendan Rodgers’ side show two notable changes from the most recent game. Callum McGregor returns to the team after missing out on the derby clash, while Viljami Sinisalo takes his place between the sticks following Kasper Schmeichel’s injury while on international duty with Denmark.

The 23-year-old Finnish goalkeeper will make his second appearance for the Celts, his first game being the 5-0 Scottish Cup win over Raith Rovers back in February.

James Forrest and Paulo Bernardo make a welcome return to the squad, with both players named amongst the substitutes.

Kick-off at Celtic Park is 3pm and you can follow the build-up and all the action on the club website’s Match Centre.
