Zander Clark makes his first save and does well with it to beat Greg Taylor's fierce drive over. First real effort from Celtic.

Hibs midfielder Jair has plenty space on the edge of the area but bends his tidy effort wide of Dimitar Mitov's goal.

And Killie come again.

The ball breaks to Kyle Vassell, who charges purposefully down the left and smacks one goalward, but the tight angle gives Shamal George the opportunity to stand tall and parry away.

Given the decades they've had to wait to win here, you sense a good start from Hearts is essential to their hopes, and to dampen the Celtic feel-good factor following their midweek Champions League win.

Kilmarnock last weekend, albeit on their own pitch, pressed Celtic high up the park and didn't allow them a second's peace. Can the Tynecastle side match that kind of effort?

Kilmarnock's turn to go close.

An excellent free-kick delivery after three failed corners allows Kyle Vassell to fling himself at the ball, with his header dropping just past the post.

A slack start from Hibs is exemplified by a poor zipped pass from David Marshall finding opposing forward Max Kucheriavyi in a precarious position, but the Ukrainian fails to truly test the Hibs number one with his low effort from distance.

One of Hearts' tactics in recent weeks has been the long throw-in. Stephen Kingsley tries a couple from the right and the visitors eventually win a free-kick in a dangerous area.

Alex Cochrane's delivery is deep and cleared, then another throw-in goes straight out of play, which you don't see every day. Wasteful from Steven Naismith's side.

The game was a minute old by the time managers Jim Goodwin and Ian Murray got round to having their ‘pre-match’ handshake!

The place is bouncing and The Shed is packed with Rovers fans. A great sight.

Scotland manager Steve Clarke and assistant John Carver are in the crowd at Celtic Park today.

A whipped, wide free-kick from Saints' Graham Carey evades all in the mixer and bounces wide of David Marshall's goal.

A bright start from struggling Livingston

After Kilmarnock fail to clear their lines following a missed back-post header, Ayo Obileye tries his luck from the edge of the box.

It's fairly routine for goalkeeper Will Dennis, but the hosts showing that they're not going down without a fight in the very early stages.

All of Celtic's main goal threats are in the first XI this afternoon. Matt O'Riley has nine overall, and has scored in his last three league games. He's joint top in the Premiership scoring charts, with Rangers' Abdallah Sima.

David Turnbull (seven) has more goals this season than Kyogo (six) and is on the same tally as Luis Palma, also seven so far. There could be a real tussle between those two if Celtic get a penalty today...

And away we go.

Celtic have gone 52 home league matches without defeat. They've gone over 16 years since their last top flight loss at Celtic Park to today's visitors. That was at the end of the 2006-07 season - the week after Shunsuke Nakamura's last-minute free-kick clinched the title for Gordon Strachan's men.

A certain Neil McCann came off the bench that day when Hearts were 3-1 up, a scoreline they maintained to claim all three points. 29th April, 2007. What chance Hearts put a dent in Celtic's title hopes this afternoon?

The problem for Celtic is that the team is not as good as it was last season. Jota is a huge loss, even Aaron Mooy. The players that have come in have not been good enough and then there's been injuries to key players like Carter-Vickers, Abada, Maeda and Hatate.

The only new player to make an impact is Luis Palma and he's not as good as Jota.

This could be a good un.

St Johnstone are still enjoying the Craig Levein-bounce and confidence is high in Perth as impressive Hibs come to town.

I did knock Levein off his stot when I referenced his "old pals", Hibs. Tongue-in-cheek, of course.

It wouldn't really matter who they were up against, though, he'd be well game for the occasion. It's evident he's still buzzing to be back in the mix.

Nick Montgomery, and the rowdy travelling fans, will certainly be hoping to upset that, though.

It's the beginning of a very hectic period for all, no one wants to start off on the wrong foot.

St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson has been speaking to BBC Scotland and commented on the blustery conditions in Paisley.

He said: "Wind ruins the game, doesn't it? It just means you have to keep the ball on the ground. It becomes that bit more predictable when you're in control of it.

"There's two teams that will be trying to play in the right manner and try and get the ball down and play so hopefully it will be an entertaining game."

Stuart Kettlewell's Motherwell have not won in their past 13 games and Robinson commented: "You have to make sure it's not against you.

"We're under no illusions, it's a very good Motherwell team. There are some very good technical footballers but a very good manager in Stuart. They're a team that fights right to the end."

After opting to make two changes from last weekend's hard-fought victory in Livingston, Hibernian manager Nick Montgomery tells BBC Scotland: "It's good to get players back. Jimmy (Jeggo) probably didn't deserve to be out of the team when he was but he had picked up a little knock a while back.

"Dylan Levitt and Joe Newell came in and did very well, so it's an opportunity for Jimmy to get some game time today. He's been champing at the bit, he trains really hard and is a proper team player so I expect him to come in and put a shift in today."

On dropping 16-year-old Rory Whittaker to the bench, Montgomery said: "It's about managing him, he's a young kid. He's been outstanding and come on in some big games, so it's my job to manage him now and make sure we get his development right.

"We can see technically he's good enough to play in the league, but physically it's been a big test for him."
