Is Celtic v Hearts on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Scottish Premiership title decider

It will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football, with coverage getting underway from 11:30pm.

What is the team news?

Martin O’Neill appears to have settled on a favoured formula, with the choice between Sebastian Tounekti and Luke McCowan on the wing the only change the Celtic boss has made between the recent wins over Rangers and Motherwell. Daizen Maeda continued his scoring run at Motherwell while Kelechi Iheanacho produced another big moment from the bench, Celtic able to call upon the impact sub if required.

Derek McInnes is without Craig Halkett and Marc Leonard after both suffered Achilles injuries against Motherwell. Harry Milne and Cammy Devlin returned in the win over Falkirk but both were withdrawn before full-time as McInnes attempted to manage their minutes after injury lay-offs of their own. The leaders do not appear to have picked up any fresh fitness issues in the win over Falkirk.

Possible line-ups

Celtic XI: Sinisalo; Johnston, Trusty, Scales, Tierney; McGregor, Engels, Nygren; Yang, Maeda, McCowan

Hearts XI: Schwolow; Steinwender, Kent, Findlay, Kingsley, Milne; Baningime, Devlin, Spittal; Braga, Shankland

Title permutations

Hearts: If Hearts win, they win the title. If Hearts draw, they win the title. But if they lose, it will now be Celtic’s championship.

Celtic: It’s simple for Celtic. They must beat Hearts on Saturday.

What have the managers said?

Martin O’Neill: "We may not win it, but what we have done is that we have fought really impressively, I think, throughout these last number of weeks.

"I think the players have shown enormous character to keep fighting right to the very, very end, and they've done that again. It could go either way, could go any way, but at least we've taken it to the final game."

Derek McInnes: “We’re going into a stadium of 60,000, the place will be rocking. Going into the lion’s den, even though we've been top of the league since September or so, we’re still going to be the underdog.

“For us to be competing with Celtic, with the money they've got and everything they've got at their disposal, it's a huge effort for our team and we look forward to it.”
