3. Tale of the tape

   Celtic Women v Hearts Women (14:00)

   Hearts have never been Celtic, having been thrashed on multiple occasions.

   But this iteration of the Gorgie squad, curated by manager Eva Olid, is the best the club have ever produced and there are plenty of stars to keep an eye on - including former Celtic youngster, Rebecca McAllister, who made her Scotland debut during the last international break.

   Celtic are as strong as ever. However, they lost their star striker Charlie Wellings over the summer when she moved to Reading. The 24-year-old forward scored a hat-trick the last time these sides met.

4. Best of the rest

   Celtic Women v Hearts Women (14:00)

   It's been similar to last season for Celtic, but completely different for Hearts.

   The hosts had a perfect record until their last league match, when a 90th minute Hayley Lauder striker secured a 2-1 victory for Glasgow City. They finished third last season, ten points behind City and 17 behind rivals Rangers. They'll want to get closer this season.

   As for Hearts, they are already just two points shy of their points tally for the entirety of last season. Securing an eighth place finish in their second crack at the top flight, they'll finish much higher this time round.
