Martin O'Neill admitted Celtic cannot afford to lose Sunday's top-of-the-table showdown with Hearts at Tynecastle. It is a bit of a trek at the minute, so we would go out to try and win the game if we can. "It's not the end of the road (if Hearts win) but nine points would be a lot to claw back with 15 games left." "I think he's gone for some sort of scans this afternoon, but we'll see," said O'Neill. It might be a bit of a stretch to start him in a game at the moment but at least he's going to be available."
