Celtic will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 away win against Dundee. They came away from that fixture with 68% of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Dundee managed 11 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
Manager Brendan Rodgers will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 30 of their 34 games this season.
They have been performing well at Celtic Park recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Celtic, James Forrest will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.

It was just a point apiece for Hearts and Kilmarnock in their last match, which ended in a 0-0 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Kilmarnock had 16 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Steven Naismith will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 10 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they have recorded 15 clean sheets in their 34 games so far this season.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
On an individual basis, Lawrence Shankland will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 21 goals in Hearts' 34 league games this season.
