Team News

Celtic
Hibernian
  • Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers made four changes after an emphatic 5-0 victory over Ross County last weekend was succeeded by a sole goal success against Aberdeen at Pittodrie in their midweek match against the Dons.
  • Kasper Schmeichel continued in goal behind a back four of Alex Valle, Auston Trusty who replaced Liam Scales, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston. Luke McCowan was superb last Saturday against the Staggies but made way for the midweek matchwinner Reo Hatate in midfield.
  • Captain Callum McGregor and Paulo Bernardo also started in the middle of the park at Pittodrie. Daizen Maeda was joined by the incoming Nicholas Kühn, replacing James Forrest, in support of Kyogo Furuhashi in attack as Adam Idah dropped onto the bench.
  • Hibernian manager David Gray named just one change to the Hibs team that took part in a mental midweek match against Aberdeen which ended 3-3 in Edinburgh, before the Hibees recorded a massive 3-0 victory against Motherwell at Fir Park.
  • Goalkeeper Jordan Smith kept his place between the sticks. Jack Iredale joined Rocky Bushiri, who proved the Hibs hero against Aberdeen, and Warren O'Hora in the Hibees' backline. Nicky Cadden kept his place at left wing-back.
  • Chris Cadden replaced Lewis Miller on the right hand-side in their only alteration. Nectarios Triantis and Joe Newell remained in the middle of the pitch. Elie Youan and Junior Hoilett looked to support lone striker Mykola Kuharevich in attack.

Prediction

  • Both Celtic and Hibernian enjoyed emphatic Scottish Premiership victories last weekend, as both continue their quest for points at opposite ends of the league table.
  • Celtic's strong recent record against nearest title challengers Aberdeen continued, as a sole goal proved enough in midweek for the Hoops to move seven points clear of the Dons with a game in hand. The league leaders have now won their last 10 consecutive away league matches, doing so for the first time since April to November 2017, having last lost at Pittodrie in February 2016.
  • Hibernian's fine recent results against Motherwell away from home continued, with the Hibees having only lost once to the Well at Fir Park in their last eight meetings, as they gained revenge on the Steelmen who beat them at Easter Road in October. Now off the foot of the table, Hibs' task is to keep rising up the standings but tests don't get much tougher than Celtic at Parkhead.
  • Celtic have beaten Hibernian both home and away this season, in the Scottish Premiership and Scottish League Cup, so will want to make it three wins on the spin against the Hibees here.
