There is a truism in football: the next game is always the big one. It felt very true a week ago, as we prepared for a trip to Dundee – even more so late in the second half. Now, all I can think about is Hearts tomorrow. A win opens up our world. For a while, at least, we go six points clear and ask questions of the pretenders.
Hearts are a difficult team to analyse. They sit third in the table, having twice beaten the champions. Since that second win five weeks ago, they have drawn with Kilmarnock home and away, lost at Ross County and in the Cup semi to Newco, while recording wins over Greenock Morton, St Mirren and Livingston. In short, they usually win against teams they are better than, and Celtic.
Whatever crisis of faith I had in this Celtic team back in February has been restored. They are not the finished article, but they are a team with leadership, fight and ability. Gallons of which will be needed tomorrow. You and I will need to provide enormous vocal support – and to put a lid on any impatience.
Late news on Liam Scales new four-year contract. Does anyone else in the squad personify leadership and fight as much as he does?

Excited for today.
Watching Leeds Utd v Southampton as a warm up for the big game.
Truth is Leeds, although periodically exciting, are just not good enough.
Don’t fancy them in the playoffs either.
I reckon WBA will sneak it, which would be quiet an achievement for our own Mikey Johnson
