We said: Celtic 3-1 Hearts

Neilson insisted that Hearts would not deviate from their typical passing game when travelling to Glasgow, but few in Scotland have been able to keep the ball against a Celtic side which averages 73% possession. Celtic may not have it all their own way on Wednesday but are heavy favourites to extend their 11-game winning run. Read more.
