    Celtic are piling on the pressure as Tom Rogic tries to weave his way through the ranks of Hearts defenders. The ball breaks to Kyogo Furuhashi and it looks like Rogic gets in the way of his team-mate's shot.

  11. Postecoglou expects cup tie with 'edge'published at 14:57 British Summer Time 15 August 2021

    Celtic v Hearts (15:00)

    Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou expects a "different game" to his side's 2-1 league defeat at Tynecastle.

    "Cup ties have an edge to them," he tells BBC Sportsound. "Especially at the start I expect the pace to be pretty hot, which is ideal.

    "We've had some promising performances but still have a long way to go. We have an opportunity today to improve our football."

    Postecoglou is hopeful of adding further new signings imminently, and explains the absence of Ryan Christie.

    "Ryan got a knock the other night and pulled up sore. It's best for us to leave him out today."

    Celtic v Hearts (15:00)

    Hearts manager Robbie Neilson tells BBC Sportsound: "We had a fantastic result against Celtic at Tynecastle with our fans behind us, but coming to Glasgow is a different beast. We have to show we can win here.

    "We planned to start Armand Gnaldullet today, but he has a family issue and misses out. Josh Ginnelly had a bug during the week and isn't ready to start.

    "We come here with confidence. We want to do well in the cups, but this will be our biggest challenge in the last six months."

    Hearts have made a fantastic start to the season, with six successive victories, including taking the scalp of Celtic on day one of the Premiership campaign.

    This promises to be their sternest test yet though as Celtic begin to hit their stride under Ange Postecoglou.

    Since that 2-1 loss at Tynecastle, Celtic have fired seven goals past Jablonec in Europa League qualifying over two legs and demolished Dundee 6-0.
