Celtic trip not a revenge mission, says defiant McEntee

Hearts on Sunday meet Celtic in Glasgow for the first time since their dramatic title decider on the final day of last season. While some may think Hearts are on a revenge mission, Tynecastle midfielder Oisin McEntee says that is not true, with plenty of new additions to the squad simply eager to prove themselves against the current champions. It will be Hearts' first visit since the final day of last season, when late Celtic goals denied the Tynecastle side their first top-flight title in more than 60 years. McEntee acknowledges the disappointment of that afternoon still lingers but believes a new-look Hearts squad can approach the occasion without being weighed down by the past. "I'm really, really looking forward to it," he said. "It's going to be a massive game in a big stadium. "A lot of those boys are new and I think nothing really fazes them. I don't think there'll be a lot of that in our heads and in our minds for the game - we just want to go and win. "It's a new group and I feel like we have a different style of play, we have a new manager, it's all different, so I think that's all we can do, just focus on the game itself. "Genuinely, I'm not lying, I don't think it will [be about revenge]. I think we'll just focus on the game at hand and we're all looking forward to it."
