Celtic will win their sixth straight Scottish Premiership title with victory at Hearts
Sunday 2 April 2017 18:09, UK
Celtic can lift their sixth consecutive Scottish Premiership title with victory at Hearts this lunchtime.
The Hoops have won 27 of their 29 league matches this season and victory at Tynecastle would seal a 48th top-flight title for the club.
A 7-0 win for Aberdeen against Dundee at Dens Park means Celtic must beat Ian Cathro's side if they are to claim the league title this weekend.
Brendan Rodgers is looking for his second piece of silverware at Celtic since becoming the club's manager last year after guiding the team to a 3-0 victory over Aberdeen in the League Cup final in November.
Tom Rogic is set to miss out and Leigh Griffiths' participation in the game is questionable after he was forced off in Scotland's World Cup qualifier against Slovenia last weekend with a back problem.
Goalkeeper Craig Gordon is keen to secure the title this weekend to allow Celtic to focus on completing a domestic treble.
"We want to win it at the earliest possible opportunity," Gordon said.
"We have put ourselves in a great place to do that already at this stage of the season.
"It makes no difference where we win it, we just want to get it done as soon as possible and we can concentrate on trying to add the Scottish Cup to it."
