A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : Scotland: Premiership
Venue: Celtic Park
Saturday 16th May 2026, 1230hrs (GMT)
Celtic will take on Hearts in a ‘winner-takes-all’ clash at Celtic Park on Saturday lunchtime with The Bhoys looking to overhaul the Premiership leaders on the final day of the Scottish top flight season.
Celtic have won their last six matches on the trot in the Premiership which has helped lift Martin O’Neill’s side within just one point of their quarry, Hearts, and this impressive winning momentum includes wins on home soil at Celtic park against St Mirren, Falkirk and their Old Firm rivals, Rangers.
Saturday’s hosts have slipped to just one defeat in their last 10 games overall in the domestic top flight which came in an unexpected 2-0 loss away from home at Dundee United, but an overall home record of 14-1-3 40/14 gives Celtic a decent chance of a result here.
Hearts have pretty much led the way throughout the entirety of this season’s Scottish Premiership campaign and The Jambos will be desperate to get themselves over the line on the final day of the season at Celtic Park as they seek a historic league title under manager Derek McInnes.
Hearts bring a seven-game unbeaten run into this decisive encounter at Celtic Park which consists of five wins along with two draws and includes a 2-1 win away from home at Hibernian as the visitors look to quell what is expected to be a very noisy partisan crowd in Glasgow.
Like their hosts, Hearts have also been dealt just the single defeat within their last 10 league matches which came in the form of a 1-0 loss away from home at Kilmarnock but having also registered seven wins within this sequence, the visitors will also fancy their chances of a result on Saturday lunchtime.
The Betting Verdict
Hearts are unbeaten in the last three meetings against Celtic, picking up two wins and a draw.
The Pick :
Celtic 1-1 Hearts
