FEB 22: HEARTS v CELTIC BETTING TIPS

FRASER FORSTER is 1-9 with McBookie to beat Bobby Clark's clean-sheet record today and 11-2 at William Hill not to make it.

After keeping Premiership strikers out for 984 minutes the Celtic No.1 only has to last another 31 minutes to beat Clark's mark.

He is 8-13 to keep another clean sheet and with Celtic on such a great run that's the most likely scenario.

Hearts have scored in three of their last seven at home to Celtic – including two 2-0 wins. They netted in a 3-1 league defeat last September but were trounced 7-0 in the cup in December.

Before drawing a blank at Inveness the Jambos had netted at least two in their previous four matches but I can't see them beating Forster – not in the opening 31 minutes anyway.

Hearts of course are 6-5 favourites at McBookie and William Hill to be next team to score against the Hoops with Aberdeen, who beat Forster twice in the Scottish Cup, next at 9-4 with McBookie.

To concede no goals before the split is 33-1 at McBookie while Hills offer 2-1 for clean sheets until the end of the month.

Celtic are no bigger than 2-9 at Coral to win with the Jambos 14-1 at the likes of Ladbrokes.

Kris Commons has opened the scoring in the last three matches against Hearts. All were Celtic wins and a repeat of Commons to score first in an away success is 16-5.

Just to score first Commons is a biggest 3-1 at Ladbrokes and others while last week's hat-trick hero Anthony Stokes is 4-1 at bet365.

Celtic are 11-10 with Hills to go through the league season unbeaten – and it's 12-5 for both Celtic and Rangers.

Team news

Hearts manager Gary Locke welcomes Jason Holt back into first-team consideration after the midfielder missed three months with a broken metatarsal. Kevin McHattie and Callum Paterson are also back following suspension, but Callum Tapping and David Smith remain sidelined with knee injuries and Locke is unsure whether midfielder Jamie Walker (foot) will feature again this season.

Charlie Mulgrew will return for Celtic after missing two matches with a calf knock but Emilio Izaguirre is struggling after limping off with a knock against St Johnstone on Sunday and James Forrest remains absent. Long-term absentees Mikael Lustig (hip), Beram Kayal (foot) and Steven Mouyokolo (Achilles) remain out.
