Celtic FC vs Heart of Midlothian Tickets

The mighty Celtic FC are preparing to host Hearts at Parkhead in what promises to be a fascinating encounter. The home team have title ambitions, while Hearts harbour aspirations of securing European football.

Celtic FC stands as a dominant force in Scottish football, racking up more than 50 Scottish Premiership titles and over 40 Scottish Cups. They were the first British club to win a European Cup and remain the only Scottish team to win Europe’s premier club competition.

Backed by their loyal and loud home support, Celtic has claimed almost every league title since the 2011/12 season. The only exception was the 2020/21 season when their arch-rivals, Rangers, secured the championship under the guidance of Steven Gerrard.

Hearts, also known as Heart of Midlothian, is Edinburgh’s biggest football club. They have a far more humble trophy cabinet than that of Celtic’s. Hearts have won the Scottish Premiership on four occasions, but their last league title came all the way back in 1959/60. They won the Scottish League Cup in the same season and Hearts remain the only club outside of the Old Firm to win a domestic league and league cup double.

Playing in maroon and white, Hearts always attract big crowds at Tynecastle Park.

Celtic FC vs Hearts Connections

Countless players have represented both Celtic and Hearts. One notable player is Craig Gordon, the Scottish goalkeeper who won 74 caps for his country. He made his debut as a teenager at Hearts in 2002 and made a huge impression between the sticks.

Gordon joined Sunderland for £9m in 2007 but suffered from a number of injury setbacks during his time there. He left the club in 2012 and took two years away from football before signing for Celtic in 2014. Gordon was given a fresh start at Celtic Park and took the opportunity with both hands, earning himself the Scotland #1 jersey once again.

He won many trophies during his six-year stay in Glasgow, but left after losing his spot in the starting XI to Fraser Forster. Gordon returned to Hearts in 2020, and his fine performances earned him another recall to the Scotland national team. He was made Hearts captain in 2021.
