Team’s Up – Derek McInnes names Hearts XI for Celtic test

Derek McInnes has named his Hearts team for this afternoon’s Scottish Premiership meeting at Celtic Park. The top two teams meet in an eagerly anticipated clash. Hearts won 3-1 back in October, a result which spelled the end of Brendan Rodgers’ second spell at Paradise as the Jambos held an eight point lead.
Martin O’Neill stepped into the Celtic Park dugout on an interim basis and wrapped up with a midweek win over Dundee, which pulled Celtic level on points with a game in hand. Now, Wilfried Nancy takes charge of Celtic for the first time looking to leapfrog Hearts and regain their place at the top of the table.
McInnes has named his Hearts team for the game as he looks to end his run of four without a win.
Hearts: Schwolow, Halkett, Steinwender, Findlay, McEntee, Devlin, Magnusson, Milne, Kyziridis, Braga, Shankland.
Subs: Gordon, Kent, Kingsley, McCart, Kabangu, Kabore, Borchgrevink, Spittal, Kartum.
Meanwhile, Nandu has picked his first Celtic team and it looks like the Frenchman has gone for a 3-4-3 formation, his preferred shape in the MLS.
Celtic: Schmeichel, Trusty, Scales, Tierney, McGregor, Engels, Hatate, Yang, Nygren, Tounekti, Maeda.
Subs: Sinisalo, McCowan, Balikwisha, Iheanacho, Kenny, Bernardo, Murray, Ralston, Donovan.
The game kicks off at 3pm (Celtic Park Time) and the referee is Don Robertson.
