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 hugely important to staffing strategy.
The move fits Celtic’s recent pattern of bringing in staff connected to a well-known managerial setup 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 relief from the set-piece void as preparations intensify.
