Hearts and Celtic fans are eagerly awaiting the league title clash later on Saturday.

The Scottish Premiership decider, taking place at Celtic Park in Glasgow, kicks off at 12.30 and if Hearts win it would mark the first time for 66 years that they have taken the trophy.

Should they win, Hearts are expected to celebrate on the streets of Edinburgh on Sunday.

Celtic have no official event if they win, with Police Scotland stating on Friday the team had not put any plans in place for official celebrations.

An earlier match between Celtic and Motherwell stirred some controversy over a penalty disputed by fans.

A 19-year-old man has been arrested and charged after referee John Beaton had his personal details leaked in the wake of the penalty, Police Scotland said.
