Celtic aims to continue perfect start against Hearts

Soccer Betting Lines

09/10/2010 - Glasgow, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - When Celtic welcomes Hearts to Parkhead on Saturday the Hoops will not only be trying for their fourth win in four games to start the season, but also to keep manager Neil Lennon's record in charge of the club unblemished.

Since taking over toward the end of last season as Celtic manager, the team has won all 11 of its league games with Lennon in charge, but the club will be expecting a stern test from Hearts.

The Edinburgh side has earned five points from its first three games, and according to Celtic defender Daniel Majstorovic, Hearts is one of the main competitors for Celtic.

"Hearts are one of the stronger teams along with Celtic and Rangers so we know it will be a difficult game," he told the club's official website. "But we are at home and have to keep going on in the same way we have been."

Majstorovic and the Celtic defense have yet to concede a goal in the opening three games, but they will be tested by a Hearts team that recorded a 4-0 win over Hamilton last time out.

Rangers has also started with three wins so far this season, and Walter Smith's men will travel to Hamilton on Saturday, with Gers striker Kenny Miller looking to continue his strong start to the season, which includes five goals in the first three games.

Dundee United and St Johnstone are the only teams without a win so far this season, and Dundee hosts Aberdeen while St Johnstone entertains Motherwell.

Inverness and Hibernian have both earned three points to start the season as they get together at Easter Road Stadium, while Kilmarnock hosts St Mirren with Killie having beaten the Saints just once in their last nine meetings.

The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
