The last to score or assist more in a year for the club was Leigh Griffiths in 2016 (25 goals, five assists). After scoring at least twice in their first five away league games this season, Hearts have since drawn a blank in their past two on the road. They last went three successive away games without scoring in the Premiership in December 2019 (run of six). Celtic have only lost one of their past nine home league games against opponents starting the day top of the table (W6 D2), going down 2-0 against Rangers in October 2020.
