Celtic

The title race is out of Celtic’s hands after their defeat to Inverness Caledonian Thistle last week but a 2-0 victory over Kilmarnock on Sunday has kept the Hoops in the running for the domestic crown.

Manager Neil Lennon and his players will still be hoping their arch rivals Rangers slip up before the end of the season.

However, they will have to concentrate on their own games and a trip to Tynecastle is arguably the second hardest ground in the SPL calendar.

The atmosphere at the Edinburgh ground will be fiery and Hearts would be happy to spoil Celtic’s chances of winning the title this season.

Hearts have only lost one of the last four games between these two sides at Tynecastle, winning two of them.

However, the Maroons are in a poor run of form – and were thrashed 4-0 by Rangers at Ibrox in their last outing on Saturday.

Before the thumping by the Glasgow giants, Hearts could not buy a win and had drawn their five previous games in the league.

The club remain third in the SPL table but manager Jim Jefferies will be disappointed that his team’s season has faded away towards the end.

Despite their decent record against Celtic at Tynecastle, Hearts current form suggests they will be up against it on Wednesday.

As for Celtic they bounced back from their disappointing defeat against Caley with the win over Killie.

Attacking midfielder Kris Commons was once again on the scoresheet and he has been arguably the club’s best signing this season since his move from Derby County in the January transfer window.

He will need to be on top form again when Celtic travel to the capital.

The Bhoys have two games home and away against Motherwell after their clash with Hearts and at this stage of the campaign every game is a must win.

Wednesday will be a tight and edgy affair and Hearts have had a gift of getting draws in recent weeks so they may well bag another, which could gift the SPL title to the blue side of Glasgow.

Inverness are still riding on the wave of that victory over Celtic and picked another victory on the weekend with a win over St Mirren.

Caley host Hibernian on Wednesday and manager Terry Butcher will looking for his side to finish on a high (totesport match prices – ICT 11/10, draw 23/10, Hibernian 23/10).

As for Hibs, they have failed to pick up a win in their last four games and have a terrible record at the Caledonian Stadium.

Not only have the Edinburgh club lost on their last four trips to Inverness but they have failed to score on the last three occasions.

With this in mind, Caley should come out on top in this one as they continue to enjoy a decent season.

Motherwell face Kilmarnock in Wednesday’s other fixture in their last game before they take on Celtic in back-to-back games (totesport match prices – Motherwell 23/20, draw 12/5, Kilmarnock 21/10).

This clash at Fir Park is between two evenly-matched teams with only three points separating the sides in the SPL table.

‘Well have conceded 12 goals in their last three games which should give Killie the edge as they look to consolidate fifth place in the league.
