Given that Edinburgh is under a Yellow Weather Warning, Tynecastle’s ground crew is in for a busy day.
Even if there is snow in many areas of the West of Scotland this morning, the primary problem in the capital is rain. Celtic and Hearts are scheduled to play at 7.45 p.m. on Sky Sports.
According to the Met Office, there is a 60–95% chance of rain throughout the morning and until 2:00 pm, although that decreases in the late afternoon, with only a 30% chance of rain throughout the game.
Hearts will be eager to have the field usable as they try to build on an improvement in performances and results under Neil Critchley, especially as the game will be televised by Sky and kickoff is on a rare Saturday night.
Hearts’ form has improved despite their recent loss at Ibrox. Critchley defeated St. Mirren 4-0 at home, Kilmarnock 2-1 at Tynecastle, and they received acclaim despite losing to Heidenhelm 2-0 at home in the UEFA Conference.
Although Celtic managed to have a complete training session at Lennoxtown on Friday, they will be closely monitoring the weather as they get ready for tonight’s game.
Although there were no reported injuries from international service, Rodgers will have a lot to consider before choosing his team for today’s game because three players travelled to China and Indonesia over the break.
