Hearts boss planning one last Celtic scouting mission ahead of final

Hearts boss Robbie Neilson will take in Celtic’s match with Kilmarnock this afternoon in person to scout them ahead of Sunday’s Scottish Cup final.

Robbie Neilson will be at Celtic Park today.

The Tynecastle boss wants to see next weekend’s opposition in the flesh before Sunday’s Hampden showdown.

"I'll be at Celtic Park, and the boys will come in and train,” said Neilson. “The ones that played will recover and the boys who didn't will do a bit more gym work and then we'll be off on Monday before gearing up for the week.”
