Stats for this game
Matchup Celtic VS Heart Of Midlothian
Celtic set the prevailing standard
The long-term balance points firmly toward Celtic. Their 3-0 victory on 29 March 2025 and 3-0 result on 4 May 2024 illustrate the margin that can separate the teams, while a 4-1 win over Heart Of Midlothian on 23 November 2024 offers another clear example. Celtic then recorded a 3-1 result on 16 May 2026, reinforcing the broader hierarchy without making every meeting predictable.
Heart Of Midlothian have shown a route through
Heart Of Midlothian supplied a meaningful interruption on 7 December 2025, winning 2-1, and followed it with a 2-2 draw on 25 January 2026. Older cup evidence is equally instructive: the 2020 FA Cup final was level 2-2 at full time, stood 3-3 after extra time, and ended with Celtic winning 4-3 on penalties. A 4-3 Celtic victory on 22 October 2022 was decided by a single goal. The matchup therefore combines Celtic’s durable edge with occasions when Heart Of Midlothian make the margin fragile. Future meetings will test whether that resistance can produce another result against the established order.
