Brendan Rodgers names Celtic team to face Hearts as he makes striker decision

Brendan Rodgers has picked his Celtic team to take on Heart of Midlothian tonight. 

Storm Bert has caused chaos to the SPFL schedule today, with many of the Premiership ties kicking-off later than anticipated. 

It's been a day of top-flight drama as Rangers dropped points against Dundee United while Aberdeen's unbeaten league run was ended at St Mirren. 

In this evening's clash at Tynecastle, Rodgers has made TWO changes from last time out with Adam Idah and Liam Scales dropping to the bench in place of Kyogo Furuhashi and Cameron-Carter-Vickers.

Kasper Schmeichel starts in goal, with a back four of Alistair Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Auston Trusty, and Greg Taylor. 

Captain Callum McGregor partners Reo Hatate and Arne Engles in midfield. While, Nicolas Kuhn and Daizen Maeda are tasked with supporting Furuhashi up front.
