Celtic have been nowhere near their best at the start of the season, and understandably so, after the squad was weakened over the course of the summer transfer window. Key players left without replacements being brought in and there is a certain feeling of stagnation around the team as well. Despite that, their start to the league campaign has been decent enough.
Celtic have won all of their games so far, except for the away trip to Ibrox, where they could only manage a draw. At the weekend, Hearts did manage to win against the Rangers in their own backyard though.
After the first five league games, it is Celtic and Hearts who sit atop the Premiership table on 13 points each, significantly ahead of any other team in the league. In case you are curious, the Rangers are tenth with four points to their name.
Naturally, there will be a lot of excitement around the upcoming game between Celtic and Hearts. It could have major title implications. And a change has been announced regarding the fixture.
Celtic make official announcement regarding important game
That matchup was originally set for a 3:00 pm kick-off time. But as announced by Celtic on their official account, their Premiership fixture against Hearts on Sunday, 26 October, will kick off at 12:00 pm and will be shown live on Sky Sports.
Of course, that game is still more than a month away. It is an away trip for Celtic and it remains to be seen where both teams will be, in terms of the table, by the time that match comes around.
An away trip to face Hearts has often proven to be a tough task for Celtic over the years though. And this season, they do seem stronger than usual. So, a lot could be riding on this game and the Scottish champions will need to bring their A-game.
