VAR is here but Robbie Neilson is only worried about landing a rousing result. Fiorentina made light work of them, however, last Sunday's meek efforts in their loss to Aberdeen was the performance which had punters demanding more.

And now Neilson must find a solution to stop Ange Postecoglou 's Celtic from becoming the latest team to put the hurt on Hearts this season. The Premiership champions don't take a backwards step and are aiming for all three points in the capital ahead of their Champions League clash with Shakhtar.

Gorgie often comes alive on days like these and Hearts need their fans to help inspire them to a result against Celtic. They managed it last season on the opening day, however, Postecoglou's side is unrecognisable to the one who came up short on that occasion.

Edinburgh has never been a city short on performance art and expect plenty of drama to coincide with the new technology which is being rolled out across the top flight this weekend.

Hearts: Gordon, M.Smith, Kingsley, Kio, Devlin, McKay, Cochrane, Sibbick, Humphrys, Ginnelly, Snodgrass

Subs: Stewart, Clark, Grant, Shankland, Halliday, Forest, Neilson, Henderson, C.Smith

Celtic: Hart, Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Jenz, Bernabei, Mooy, O'Riley, Hatate, Forrest, Maeda, Giakoumakis

Subs: Siegrist, Taylor, Kyogo, Haksabanovic, Abada, McCarthy, Ideguchi, Abildgaard, Juranovic

The stakes are high and we'll be with you all the way as

And it is 3-3 now!

Shankland gets it right this time!

We are all level at Tynecastle in the most bonkers game in cinch history.

And it's that man Maeda who fires home.

Gordon spilled the first shot but the Japanese international was on hand and he was miles onside.

Celtic are ahead.

GOAL! Celtic level through Giakoumakis

The striker can't stop scoring and he has Celtic back on terms.

The Mooy miss will be quickly forgotten if Celtic win from here.

Game on in Gorgie!

Mooy misses sitter for the ages

Oh dearie me - what an incredible miss!

The midfielder somehow contrived to fire wide of the post from six yards out with the goal gaping - chances don't get much easier than that.

Ange can barely believe and it's a similar reaction in the away end.

Celtic aim to respond

Amid the madness, it's been a ropey display from the champions and a game they have never been in control of.

However, if they come up short then the Smith non-call will loom large.

GOAL! Shankland fires home

Another VAR. check incoming but it appears Shankland was being played on by Bernabei who was oustretched to keep the cross at bay.

Celtic are behind and Hearts are loving it!
