Celtic have been bang on form in recent weeks, hitting five in each of their last two away games and Saturday's opponents Hearts know exactly how Kilmarnock and Aberdeen will have been feeling, having themselves been on the end of a 5-0 thrashing in the east end of Glasgow earlier in the season.

Hearts have undoubtedly improved since that day in August and have won three and drawn one since a 4-1 defeat to Dundee United on January 2 but it's difficult to see them repeating their 2-0 CIS Cup win at Parkhead at the weekend.

Given Celtic's form in recent weeks - the January transfer window seems to have given everyone at the club a huge lift - it's no surprise to see them at ridiculously short odds to win the game, so we will look to the anytime goalscorer market instead.

Scott McDonald heads the scoring charts in Scotland by five goals from Hamilton's Richard Offiong and we like the look of him to add to his tally against an often porous Hearts defence.

The Australian has hit five goals in his last three games and has nine in his last eight in the league at Celtic Park.

Given those statistics he will really fancy his chances of netting against the second-worst defence in the SPL.

Outwith Rangers, McDonald has scored against every SPL team bar Hibs and Inverness and netted in a 1-1 draw against the Jambos at Tynecastle in December.

It is also worth noting he has taken three of the champions' four penalties this season and with winger Aiden McGeady on top form, McDonald should be presented with opportunities on Saturday.

We are therefore surprised to find McDonald available at 6/5 to score anytime with bet365, given that he is no better than evens everywhere else, and we are more than happy to take that bet on.
