Andy Halliday says he would never 'shy away' from facing Celtic despite Hearts' not conquering the Hoops this season.
The former Rangers star is no stranger to facing the Scottish champions but found himself on the receiving end of a defeat at Parkhead on Wednesday despite setting up the opening goal for attacker Josh Ginnelly. Ange Postecoglou's men ran out 3-1 winners in the end with goals from Daizen Maeda, Kyogo and Sead Haksabanovic sealing all three points.
Robbie Neilson's men face the Hoops again on Saturday but this time with home advantage in the Scottish Cup quarter-final, and Halliday insists personally he gets a boost when playing top opposition like Celtic. The midfielder believes his 'bad results' against the Glasgow giants can be turned around and that there are no concerns for his fitness after managing 70 minutes at Parkhead.
