Preview: Hearts v Celtic (Weds)

by Setanta staff , 10 November 2010

Celtic striker Daryl Murphy is back in contention for a place in the side against Hearts at Tynecastle on Wednesday.


However, the Republic of Ireland striker's recovery from an ankle injury is unlikely to see him displace Gary Hooper or Anthony Stokes, both of whom hit hat-tricks in the amazing 9-0 win over Aberdeen on Saturday.

Norwegian defender Thomas Rogne is suspended for the Clydesdale Bank Premier League trip to Edinburgh after he was sent off against the Dons, while Neil Lennon will also have to do without teenager James Forrest, who is continuing to recover from an ankle problem of his own.

Hearts have a concern over winger David Templeton after he suffered a dead leg in Sunday's 2-0 win over city rivals Hibernian.

Suso Santana could take his place after missing the Hibs trip due to concerns over a knee problem.

Andrew Driver (thigh), David Obua (groin) and Lee Wallace (knee) are all still out.

Hearts (from): Kello, Barr, Bouzid, Zaliukas, Stevenson, Palazuelos, Templeton, Elliot, Elliott, Santana, Balogh, Kyle, Jonsson, Mrowiec, J Thomson, C Thomson, Skacel, Novikovas.

Celtic (from): Forster, Wilson, Cha Du-Ri, Majstorovic, Izaguirre, Ledley, McGinn, Ki, McCourt, Hooiveld, Mulgrew, Loovens, Crosas, Zaluska, Juarez, Towell, Murphy, Stokes, Samaras, Hooper, Maloney.
