DAVID TURNBULL makes his first start for Celtic today since the Premier Sports Cup final back in December.
The midfielder was sidelined for a significant spell after going down with a hamstring problem in the Hampden triumph over Hibs.
Turnbull, 22, has returned to the Celtic squad in recent weeks but has only been thrown back into the starting side for the visit of Hearts this afternoon.
Ange Postecoglou revealed his delight at having Turnbull back in the squad ahead of kick-off as he explained his reasoning for the delay in his return to the starting XI.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Postecoglou said: "He's probably been ready for a couple of weeks.
"You just never know when the right time is and obviously the team has been playing pretty well.
"He's ready to go and it's great to have him back. He had a brilliant first half of the year for us right up until the League Cup final.
"I know he was disappointed missing out and he's had to work hard in rehab, but he's ready to go."
