Ross Grant, described by insiders as a highly rated set-piece specialist, has left Hearts to join Celtic’s Champions coaching team. The clubs confirmed his appointment on Sunday, 28 June 2026 and said the addition is set to strengthen the squad.
The move fits Celtic’s recent pattern of bringing in staff connected to a former dugout and is aimed at breeding sharper set-piece execution for the next campaign. Hearts now face a fresh departure to manage and will have to seek out a replacement to fill big boots as preparations intensify.
