Team’s Up – Derek McInnes names Hearts XI for Celtic clash | OneFootball

Derek McInnes has named his Hearts team for this afternoon’s Scottish Premiership meeting with Celtic. The Jambos are unbeaten so far in the league and could go eight points clear with a victory against Brendan Rodgers’ side.

McInnes will know that there is a long way to go but a victory would be a statement of intent for the Gorgie Rd club. Hearts have named an unchanged team as they look to capitalise on Celtic’s injury worries.

Hearts: Schwolow, McEntee, Halkett, Findlay, Kingsley, Milne, Devlin, Baningime, Kyziridis, Braga, Shankland.

Subs: Gordon, McCart, Kabangu, Kabore, Steinwender, Spittal, Magnusson, Kerjota, Ageu.

Meanwhile, Brendan has named three youth players in the starting XI and these are enforced changes with Colby Donovan, Johnny Kenny and Dane Murray coming into the team to cover for Alistair Johnston, Kelechi Iheanacho and Cameron Carter-Vickers.

Schmeichel, Donovan, Murray, Scales, Tierney, McGregor, Hatate, Engels, Nygren, Kenny, Tounekti.

Subs: Sinisalo, Balikwisha, Trusty, Shin, McCowan, Bernardo, Sarrachi, Forrest, Ralston.
