In an intense Scottish Premiership showdown, Hearts FC is set to challenge the established order by aiming to break the consecutive title wins of Celtic and Rangers since 1985. The league leaders head to Celtic Park, needing just a point to claim their first title in over six decades.

Saturday's match holds immense significance, with Martin O'Neill's Celtic requiring a victory to secure their fifth consecutive title and their 14th in 15 years. The tension is palpable as Hearts strives for a historic win, while Celtic faces the pressure to maintain their dominance.

Tensions were further inflamed when Celtic secured a narrow win against Motherwell midweek, aided by a controversial penalty decision. Hearts coach Derek McInnes criticized the call as 'quite disgusting,' adding another layer of drama to the season's thrilling finale.
