Hearts welcome Celtic to Tynecastle Park for their cinch Premiership opener.

It is more than 500 days since the Gorgie side played a top-flight match, a 1-0 defeat to St Mirren consigning the club to a year in the Championship.

Robbie Neilson’s men have had a strong start to the season with four wins from four in the Premier Sports Cup with no goals conceded.

There could be a debut for new signing Beni Baningime with a number of squad decisions to consider.

More than 5,000 Hearts fans will be in attendance after the club were given permission for an extra 700 tickets.

They face a Celtic side going through a difficult period. New boss Ange Postecoglou has a big job on his hands and the team were knocked out of the Champions League qualifiers during the week by FC Midtjylland.

We will have all the latest from Tynecastle Park throughout the evening.
