Hearts won’t have title-decider heartbreak on their minds against Celtic, says Wouter Vrancken

Hearts manager Wouter Vrancken insisted his squad will not dwell on last season's heartbreaking title-decider defeat when they visit Celtic on Sunday. The Jambos missed out on their first league title in over 40 years following a dramatic 3-1 defeat at Parkhead in May. Vrancken stated his players must avoid looking back and keep their complete focus on the upcoming fixture.

Vrancken succeeded Derek McInnes, who departed for Rangers after guiding Hearts through their memorable campaign. The Jambos enter the match five points adrift of Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic. Hearts drew 1-1 against Nordsjaelland in the Europa Conference League on Thursday, while Celtic suffered a 4-1 Europa League loss against Benfica.
