Celtic and Hearts will battle for three points in a Scottish Premiership matchday five fixture on Saturday (September 14th). The hosts will be full of confidence, having comfortably dispatched Rangers with a 3-0 home win in the Old Firm Derby before the international break a fortnight ago. As the Scottish Premiership resumes this weekend, Celtic and Hearts find themselves at opposite ends of the spectrum. While the former has been on a roll, the latter has struggled to find its footing.
Celtic's dominance has been undeniable. Their 3-0 victory over Rangers in the Old Firm derby was a testament to their strength and depth. With new signings like Arne Engels bolstering their ranks, the Hoops look poised to continue their reign. Brendan Rodgers has managed to create a cohesive unit that is a force to be reckoned with.
In contrast, Hearts have been plagued by inconsistency. Their Europa League exit to Viktoria Plzen and their struggles in the league have put immense pressure on manager Steven Naismith. Despite bringing in new players during the summer, the team has failed to gel.
The decision to offer Naismith a new contract seems questionable given the team's current predicament. As these two teams face off on Saturday, the contrast between their performances will be stark.
