As Hearts look to continue their 100% win record over Old Firm opposition this weekend, we take a look at their latest meetings with The Hoops.
Remarkably, The Jambos haven’t drawn with Celtic in over a decade in a fixture that generally swings one way or the other. The last time they met, it was an unforgettable rainy day in the East End of Glasgow, where Derek McInnes’ side put on a disciplined Parkhead display to go three points ahead of their rivals.
Fast forward six weeks and the Gorgie side have now extended the gap between them and Celtic, with the opportunity to go nine points clear of them with a win. Here’s a look at the last 14 meetings between Hearts and Celtic through the medium of images:
9. Hearts 1-4 Celtic (22/10/23)
Hearts were outplayed on their own patch, with Matt O'Riley, Daizen Maeda, Kyogo Furuhashi and Tomoki Iwata. Lawrence Shankland got his customary goal in the second half. | SNS Group
10. Hearts 0-2 Celtic (07/05/23)
Never a good day when your league rivals win the title in your own ground. Unfortunately that's what happened to Hearts in this one as Kyogo Furuhashi and Oh Hyeon-gyu scored against 10-man Jambos to help Ange Postecoglou's men win the treble that year. | SNS Group
11. Hearts 0-3 Celtic (11/03/23)
Another day to forget for Hearts as Aaron Mooy, Kyogo Furuhashi and Cameron Carter-Vickers helped The Hoops to a comfortable Gorgie win in the Scottish Cup. | SNS Group
12. Celtic 3-1 Hearts (08/03/23)
Josh Ginnelly opened the scoring in the East End of Glasgow however it was short-lived as Daizen Maeda equalised less than 20 minutes later. Celtic's persistent attacking threat paid off in the end, with Kyogo Furuhashi and Sead Haksabanovic scoring in the second half. | SNS Group
