CAPTAIN Callum McGregor will miss Celtic’s crunch encounter against Hearts at Tynecastle today.
The Hoops skipper was replaced by teenager Daniel Kelly at half-time in the 7-1 midweek win over Dundee at Parkhead, but hasn’t recovered in time to face Steven Naismith’s side.
McGregor’s place in midfield will be taken by Portuguese playmaker Paulo Bernardo with Matt O’Riley assuming anchorman duties.
TEAM: Hart; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor; Iwata, O’Riley, Bernardo; Yang, Idah, Maeda. Subs: Bain, Lagerbielke, Palma, Kyogo, Kuhn, Holm, Kelly, Ralston and Welsh.

Now we repeat those questions and provide the answers.
CAPITAL PERFORMANCE…Matt O’Riley is congratulated by Brendan Rodgers after the 4-1 win over Hearts at Tynecastle in October. (See Question 4.)
