Ahead of Celtic’s early kick-off against Hearts on Sunday, we at Read Celtic will role-play (not that kind) and predict the starting XI.
We will be playing the role of Brendan Rodgers and choosing the starting XI, as well as how the team are expected to line-up on the pitch.
It also includes a bit of insight into what we expect from each player, and what they can do to make the difference.
The Hoops are 19 points clear at the top of the table after beating St Johnstone 1-0 midweek and following today’s results.
Having now equaled the Lisbon Lions’ incredible record of 26 domestic games unbeaten, Rodgers’ side now will look to break that record when they host Ian Cathro’s Hearts at Paradise.
The Edinburgh side are fourth in the league and are nine points behind third-place Aberdeen.
To understand our prediction, you also need to see the latest team news ahead of the game. Here is our predicted eleven in a 4-2-3-1 formation for Sunday’s home fixture.
