Match preview
How crucial could that victory be for Celtic?
On Saturday, despite Sead Hakšabanović’s brace, the Hoops looked set to drop points against Dundee United, with the Tangerines equalising just three minutes from the end.
Nevertheless, both Kyōgo Furuhashi and Liel Abada struck in injury time, the latter a gorgeous lob, sparking wild celebrations all around Parkhead.
With Rangers then beaten at McDiarmid Park the following day, Ange Postecoglou’s team are now seven points clear.
Will they, at least, maintain that gap with a victory in North Lanarkshire?
Given that Celtic won 4-0 at Fir Park in the League Cup just just three weeks ago, this seems the most likely outcome.
Despite the fact Hearts were down to ten-men, they led 2-0, only for goals from Louis Moult and Blair Spittal to seemingly snatch a point for the Steelmen.
However, the Jambos were awarded a spot-kick in the final minute of normal time, thereby claiming a 3-2 victory.
This defeat means Stevie Hammell’s team have lost four of their last five Premiership games, winning just two of the last ten.
Everything points towards an away victory.
