Celtic starting XI v Hearts confirmed as star puts injury nightmare behind him with shock Ange Postecoglou call

Wishaw's David Turnbull has been picked to start for Celtic this afternoon in a defining Premiership match with Hearts.

The midfielder hasn't started a game since a hamstring injury in December's League Cup final against Hibs.

But he comes into Ange Postecoglou's XI this afternoon in place of Japanese teammate Reo Hatate.

It's been a tough 2022 for Turnbull who has only recently made his comeback from injury and been limited to sub appearances.

He is keen to help Celtic over the title race line and a victory today plus dropped points for Rangers on Sunday against Dundee United could seal it.

Even if both top flight teams in Glasgow win this weekend, the Hoops will still be six points clear with two games to go.

Celtic XI: Hart, Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor, McGregor, Turnbull, O'Riley, Jota, Maeda, Kyogo.

Subs: Bain, Bitton, Giakoumakis, Abada, McCarthy, Rogic, Hatate, Forrest, Welsh.

Hearts XI: Gordon, Kingsley, Haring, Boyce, Atkinson, Moore, McKay, Cochrane, Simms, Sibbick, Ginnelly.

Subs : Stewart, Smith, Souttar, Woodburn, Mackay-Steven, Devlin, Thomas, Tait.
