Neil Lennon’s Celtic will face Heart of Midlothian at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership today.
Celtic will take on Hearts at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership in a few hours’ time.
While the Hoops have won both of their league games so far this season, Hearts have picked up only a point from their opening two matches.
Clare, though, has said that he is not daunted at the prospect of taking on Celtic on their own turf and is looking forward to the challenge of playing against Neil Lennon’s side.
Clare told The Edinburgh Evening News about facing Celtic at Celtic Park: “I wouldn’t say it’s daunting. They didn’t score five or six in their most recent games so, although they are a very good side, we feel like we are a very good side.”
The youngster added: “They are a massive club and a good team, so a good result would give us massive confidence.”
Reported Celtic target
Clare was linked with a move to Celtic back in the summer of 2018 before he moved to Scottish Premiership rivals Hearts after leaving Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship in England.
According to a report in TEAMtalk in June 2018, Celtic were among a number of clubs interested in securing the services of the 22-year-old on a free transfer.
Brendan Rodgers was in charge of the Hoops at the time, and the young attacking midfielder eventually moved to Hearts.
