Celtic-Hearts showdown tops weekend’s Premiership bill

Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic host third-place Heart of Midlothian on Sunday in the weekend's featured clash following midweek European fixtures. Celtic enter the match looking to bounce back from a 4-1 Europa League loss to Benfica and hold a two-point advantage at the top of the table. Meanwhile, Wouter Vrancken's Hearts team aims to close a five-point gap on the champions despite winning just two of their past 11 away league games.

Elsewhere across the Premiership, second-place Rangers travel to face Dundee on Saturday on a seven-game winning streak under Derek McInnes, with the opportunity to temporarily claim top spot. Other key weekend matches include Aberdeen taking on St Mirren at Pittodrie, Hibernian hosting Falkirk at Easter Road, and bottom-placed Kilmarnock meeting Motherwell as multiple clubs look to break difficult runs of form.
