Celtic v Hearts: Changes

Celtic and Hearts are set to make changes to their teams for Saturday's Scottish Cup final. Celtic are without injured defender Christopher Jullien, while Hearts have a doubt over midfielder Aaron McEneff.

Celtic

Celtic manager Neil Lennon is likely to make several changes to the team that beat Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership last weekend. Jullien is ruled out with a knee injury, so Nir Bitton is expected to come into the defence alongside Kristoffer Ajer and Shane Duffy.

Lennon could also make changes in midfield, with Olivier Ntcham and Ryan Christie pushing for starts. Odsonne Edouard and Leigh Griffiths are likely to continue up front.

Hearts

Hearts boss Robbie Neilson has a doubt over McEneff, who missed the midweek win over Dundee United with a knock. If McEneff is ruled out, Andy Halliday is likely to come into the team.

Neilson is expected to name an otherwise unchanged team, with Craig Gordon, Michael Smith and Steven MacLean all keeping their places.

Key Battle

The key battle in the match is likely to be between Celtic's attack and Hearts' defence. Celtic have scored more goals than any other team in the Scottish Premiership this season, while Hearts have the best defensive record.

If Celtic can break down the Hearts defence, they will be confident of winning the match. However, if Hearts can keep Celtic at bay, they will have a good chance of causing an upset.
