THE match on Thursday is just one big game in a huge week for Ronny Deila.
On Sunday he takes his team through to Edinburgh to face Hearts in the fourth round of Scottish Cup, and it's a tie that I'm really looking forward to.
The atmosphere at Tynecastle generates a fantastic atmosphere, and I think it will be a similar enviornment to the one we saw at Pittodrie a few weeks ago.
It was a full house that day, it was a fully committed game, and the crowd were right up for it.
We should see that again. The fact it is a cup tie will add an extra edge to it.
Hearts are doing well just now. Off the field their business is in order and on it they are flying at the top of the Championship.
They will also be on a high after last weeks' Championship victory over Rangers at Ibrox.
Celtic, of course, beat them 3-0 in the League Cup back in September but that game will count for very little this time.
Robbie Neilson's men will feel at Tynecastle they can run Celtic close.
It should be fascinating.
