Steven Naismith says Hearts travel to Celtic Park with "confidence", but is wary of the league leaders looking to continue their charge towards the title.
The Tynecastle side have beaten Celtic twice this season, but the head coach expects a different dynamic with four games to go.
"All season we've had confidence going into every game," he said. "There's no game I've gone into fearing who we're coming up against.
"I think having the results against Celtic in the past definitely helps. It builds confidence, we've gone on to have a good run of results after them.
"I think it will be slightly different because of where it sits in the season. The outcome of these games have massive impacts.
"I'm sure Celtic, being in pole position for the title, will want to come and tick this game off and get their result.
"I've been in a title race, one slip can cost you. You've got to understand the dynamic of the crowd and how that can affect you."
