"Of the three all-top flight ties on Saturday, Falkirk's visit to Hearts (20:00 GMT) is the one that most captures the imagination. Hearts are flying high at the top of the Premiership, six points clear of their nearest challengers after a hard-fought midweek win over St Mirren. Derek McInnes' side had an early exit from this season's Premier Sports Cup"
"Benjamin Nygren consolidated his status as Celtic's top scorer with the midweek winner against Falkirk. The 24-year-old Sweden midfielder moved on to 12 goals this campaign, five more than last season's top marksman, Daizen Maeda. Nygren has proved to be a versatile option in attack for Celtic since his summer arrival from Nordsjaelland, good with both feet and in the air while also possessing the ability to play in different positions."
Premiership clubs enter the Scottish Cup this weekend with several all-top-flight ties. Hearts host Falkirk on Saturday as Hearts sit top of the Premiership, six points clear after a midweek win over St Mirren. Derek McInnes' side exited early from the Premier Sports Cup and have new signings this month. Falkirk narrowly lost 1-0 to Celtic midweek and have enjoyed a strong campaign under John McGlynn. Falkirk have not scored against Hearts this season and would need to end Hearts' 13-game unbeaten home run to prevail. Benjamin Nygren has 12 goals, offers versatile attacking options, and is likely to feature in midfield for Celtic's upcoming cup tie.
