Team News
Hibernian
Celtic
- Hibs boss Nick Montgomery named three changes to the Hibernian team that came from two goals down to pick up a point against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park in a 2-2 draw, before they were swept aside 3-0 by St Mirren at Easter Road.
- Paul Hanlon made way for Nectarios Triantis to make his debut in defence and start alongside Will Fish at centre-back. Teenager Rory Whittaker took fellow youngster Kanayo Megwa's spot at right-back as Jordan Obita continued on the left.
- Myziane Maolida was the Hibees' hero in Ayrshire, and was rewarded with a start against Saints last Saturday. Dylan Vente dropped onto the bench, joined by a few new recruits and Chris Cadden who had been out with a long-term injury.
- Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers named one enforced change to the Celts side that scored a sole goal which was enough to see off Ross County at Parkhead, but only picked up a point at Pittodrie on Saturday at lunchtime.
- Cameron Carter-Vickers, who has signed a new five-and-a-half year deal with the Hoops, is out for three weeks through injury. That meant Maik Nawrocki started alongside former Aberdeen loanee Liam Scales against the Dons at the weekend.
- Reo Hatate is facing six weeks on the sidelines, after injuring both calves, so is unavailable. January signings Nicholas Kühn - who netted the league leaders' equaliser - and Adam Idah both came off the bench up in Aberdeen on Saturday.
