Celtic will face Hearts twice in three days with the Scottish Cup tie at Tynecastle going ahead on March 11 with a 12.15pm kick-off on Viaplay Sport.
Next Sunday’s Viaplay Cup Final at Hampden has postponed the home match against Robbie Neilson’s side which has been put back to March 8 with a 7.45pm kick off leaving very little turnaround time before the Scottish Cup match.
That double header will go a long way to shaping Celtic’s season with Hearts clear in third place in the SPFL and finalists in three of the last four Scottish Cups- losing to Celtic in 2019 and 2020.

At Tynecastle in October Celtic fans only occupied around a third of the Roseburn Stand but Scottish Cup rules mean that the visitors are entitled to 20% of the tickets plus 50% of the gate money after expenses are deducted.
That slice of tickets almost exactly fills the Roseburn Stand which will give Ange Postecoglou’s side a significant boost as they chase the only trophy to have eluded them last season.
After Mr Bean telling the sevco fans they have to many players at ibrox and they need to trim the squad down a bit,whatever happened to that fud Tom English giving it have 3 teams for all the competitions.
