How to watch Celtic v Hearts – TV channel, kick-off time and live streams
Make sure you know where to tune in for the Scottish Premiership fixture
Celtic v Hearts is literally the biggest game of the Scottish Premiership season. It’s a head-to-head decider, and history could be made this weekend.

This Saturday (May 16), Hearts could win the league for the first time in over 60 years and break the Old Firm’s grip on the premiership. Or, as the Hoops are wont to do, Celtic could clinch a victory at the last minute.
