Celtic and Hearts both have some players missing and others returning for Sunday’s William Hill Premiership match at Celtic Park. The two clubs are meeting for the first time since May’s title decider and tensions are certain to run high. Managers Martin O’Neill and Wouter Vrancken will be careful who they select.
The Parkhead boss has some experience to call upon again, while his Tynecastle counterpart can welcome back some ineligible players from the midweek European tie against Nordsjaelland. The latest injury news from both camps is below:

3. Jota - Celtic - AVAILABLE
The Portuguese fan favourite returned to action after 18 months out against Motherwell last weekend, but was forced to miss the game against Benfica due to ineligibility. As Celtic struggle with their wing options, could O'Neill be tempted to start him?
4. Ageu - Hearts - OUT
Out since last February, the Brazilian has only just returned to fitness but has already suffered a new muscle issue, and will miss the trip to Parkhead. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
