Celtic v Hearts kick-off time, TV details, squad news and referee for Parkhead clash

Hearts continue their battle to beat the drop when they head along the M8 to take on Celtic at Parkhead on Wednesday evening.

Daniel Stendel's side face a tough midweek fixture against Neil Lennon's league leaders, and need to be on the top of their game to take anything from Glasgow's east end this evening.

The Tynecastle outfit come into the match on the back of Saturday's , and, despite mixed results in recent weeks, have been finding some form in front of goal – netting seven times in their last three league matches.

Celtic have returned from the winter break all guns blazing, and have scored three or more times in each of their last six fixtures.

So what time do things kick-off tonight?

The match will get underway at Celtic Park at 7.45pm. Hibs will kick off against Ross County at Easter Road at the same time, while matches between Livingston and St Mirren, St Johnstone and Motherwell, and Kilmarnock and Rangers also take place.

Is the match on TV?

The bad news for those without a ticket is that the game won't be shown live on Sky or BT Sports. However international subscribers to Hearts TV can catch all the action, and there will also be live audio commentary for those inside the UK and Ireland. According to the official Heart of Midlothian Twitter account, new subscribers have until 7pm to register.

Who is in the squad?

Hearts provisional squad: Pereira, White, Halkett, Smith, Dikamona, Sibbick, Souttar, Bozanic, Clare, MacLean, Meshino, Damour, Ikpeazu, Boyce, Naismith, Walker, Henderson, Irving, Moore, Avdijaj, Gariccio, Langer, Smith, Zlamal.

Celtic provisional squad: Forster, Bauer, Hayes, Ajer, Bolingoli, Simunovic, Taylor, Jullien, Brown, McGregor, Rogic, Ntcham, Christie, Forrest, Soro, Elyounoussi, Edouard, Klimala, Griffiths, Welsh, Gordon, Bain.
