Three Scottish Premiership storylines to look for on Wednesday, from McInnes’s return to Celtic’s home run

McInnes returns to Tynecastle

Rangers visit Hearts on Wednesday, bringing McInnes back to Tynecastle after his departure. He came within minutes of guiding the Edinburgh club to a historic title triumph in May.

McInnes has spoken of feeling guilt over leaving. Hearts’ injured pair Lawrence Shankland and Cammy Devlin will miss the match, while the former manager could face a frosty reception despite his work at the club.

United face a daunting Celtic record

Dundee United have become one of the season’s notable stories under manager Jim Goodwin. He has reshaped his approach, taking inspiration from Jens Berthel Askou’s work at Motherwell last season, and United have improved after a difficult start.

Celtic have not lost at home to United in 51 matches across all competitions, dating back to a 1-0 league defeat in December 1992. United’s strong form will meet a formidable historical record.

Hibs seek a response in Paisley

Hibernian travel to face St Mirren after Sunday’s narrow loss to Celtic left them at the foot of the Premiership. St Mirren ended a five-game losing run by beating Dundee on Saturday. Reedijk said the reaction from Hibs supporters after the Celtic match showed that “we are in the right way.” He also pointed to progress and described the mood at the club as positive.

Hanley’s unusual role unlikely to return

Hibs’ decision to use centre-back Grant Hanley as a striker on Sunday drew concern from some supporters. Reedijk said the tactical move was not something people should expect to see again.
