Hearts Gearing Up to Deal Celtic a Significant Blow in Title Pursuit

Hearts manager Derek McInnes is urging his team to secure another win over Celtic, which would be a significant strike in the title race. The Jambos are currently six points ahead in the Premiership and are set to face Celtic at Tynecastle Park on Sunday. Despite being unbeaten at home this season, McInnes is cautious and recognizes that Sunday's game will be a tough challenge for both teams. McInnes expressed his confidence in his players, citing their previous wins over Celtic as a reference point. However, he also acknowledged the absence of key players, including Lawrence Shankland, who is out for six to eight weeks with a hamstring injury. To address the injury concerns, Hearts are bringing in forward Rogers Mato from Vadar this month, instead of the initially planned summer transfer. McInnes views this as an opportunity for other players to step up and is working to secure additional reinforcements during the January transfer window.
