Celtic - Hearts: betting tip for the Scottish Championship match

Current form

Celtic have long created a huge gap between themselves and their main rival, the Rangers, in the national championship, and they occasionally misfire. So, in the last four rounds, the Celts lost away to Hibernian (1:2) and lost to Rangers (2:3) at Celtic Park. Nevertheless, even if they lose in a face-to-face meeting, the margin is 13 points. Celtic have suffered only one defeat on their own field since the beginning of the season, and it is impossible not to note the impressive statistics on goals: 50 goals scored and only six goals conceded (three of them were just in the last game from the Rangers).
