I shattered Hearts’ title dreams at Celtic Park but Jambos 2.0 will push us all the way again

Celtic striker Callum Osmand believes Heart of Midlothian will push the reigning champions in another tight title race ahead of their Scottish Premiership clash. Osmand famously scored the decisive goal against Hearts in May to secure Celtic's fifth consecutive league title after Daizen Maeda also netted late. Hearts enter the fixture in third place under new manager Wouter Vrancken and can reduce Celtic's lead to two points with a victory.

Osmand is working his way back into manager Martin O'Neill's plans after overcoming hamstring and ankle injuries that interrupted his breakthrough campaign. Following a substitute appearance in Thursday's 4-1 defeat to Benfica, Osmand faces competition in Celtic's attack from Kasper Hogh, Camilo Duran, and Shim Mheuka, expressing readiness to feature across the frontline to secure playing time.
