Hearts and Celtic supporters have their finest supporter outfits for this first game week of a new Premiership season. Game on!

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Champions League. That game was also an away game, at Midtjylland. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Hearts form and stats

It's the first season at a new level for Hearts as they were promoted from Championship last season. Happy days that were secured through 17 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses from 27 games. The team scored 44 goals at home last season and conceded 16. It will be interesting to see how they perform at this level.

With the first game of the season soon underway, it's time to look at the results from the Hearts friendly games in pre-season: Hearts played two friendlies, won 1, drew 0 and lost 1. If you are really into statistics you might appreciate knowing that Hearts scored 4 goals and conceded 2 in these two games.

Celtic form and stats

Last season was a triumph for Celtic in the national league as they took home the Premiership trophy. The championship was secured after 26 wins, 2 draws and only 2 defeats. As this is an away game, it's natural to look at the stats for away matches last season: Won 12, drew 2 and lost 1.

It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Celtic have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from five fixtures.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Hearts won one game, one match ended with a draw and Celtic has eight wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: eight / two
