Wilfried Nancy has made two changes to the Celtic side that beat Dundee 1-0 under Martin O’Neill.
Ben Nygren and Sebastian Tounekti come into the side with Colby Donovan and Luke McCowan dropping out.
With no obvious right-back it looks like Nancy is switching Celtic straight into his preferred 3-4-3 formation.
The new coach took charge on Thursday but it wasn’t until Friday that he was able to get involved with the first team on the training ground.
One obvious issue with this line up is that the three defenders are all left footed with could leave the hoops open to attacks from the right.
It will certainly make for interesting viewing with Nancy the third man to take charge of Celtic this season.
Without any playing time since October 23, Kelechi Iheanacho is on the bench for Celtic with striking options thin on the ground.
Hearts come into the match on their worst run of form this season.
The midweek draw with Kilmarnock came on the back of a goal-less draw away to Motherwell and a 1-0 defeat at Aberdeen, their only defeat in the SPFL Premiership.
With further clashes against top six opponents coming up this month their title credentials will be tested to the full.
On Saturday Hearts are away to Falkirk with their third clash of the season against Celtic coming on January 25.
Don Robertson will referee today’s match with Greg Aitken reviewing the action in the VAR studio.
Today’s winner is guaranteed to go to the top of the SPFL Premiership table.
CELTIC: Schmeichel; Trusty, Scales, Tierney; McGregor, Hatate, Engels, Nygren, Yang, Maeda, Tounekti
SUBSTITUTES: Sinisalo, Balikwisha, McCowan, Iheanacho, Kenny, Bernardo, Murray, Donovan, Ralston
