Wouter Vrancken convinced Hearts can channel Celtic pain as Belgian demands the fire stays lit

Hearts manager Wouter Vrancken has urged his players to focus on the future and use the pain of last season's final-day title shootout defeat to Celtic positively. The Jambos visit Celtic Park on Sunday for the first time since that May loss, which occurred under former manager Derek McInnes. It will mark the Belgian manager's first trip to Parkhead since taking charge.

Hearts head into the fixture following a Conference League draw against Nordsjaelland, while Celtic recently suffered a defeat away to Benfica. Vrancken noted that defender Tomas Magnusson is available for selection following a European suspension, with final lineup decisions depending on player recovery after a tight two-day turnaround.
