Celtic v Hearts: Pick of the stats

Celtic have won 24 of their last 26 home games against Hearts in all competitions (D1 L1), scoring 72 goals and conceding just 12 times.

Hearts have won two of their last three Scottish Premiership games against Celtic.

Celtic have won all four of their league games this season without conceding a single goal. Only in 1906-07 under Willie Maley have they ever won their opening five matches of a league campaign without conceding.

With just one point from their opening four matches (D1 L3), this is Hearts’ poorest start to a top-flight campaign in the 21st century.

Despite having the most shots of any player in the Scottish Premiership this season (17), Lawrence Shankland is yet to score for Hearts this term.

However, Shankland’s six goals against Celtic in the league since the start of 2022-23 are the joint-most any player has against a single opponent in the top flight in this time.
