Celtic will aim to continue their dominance of the Scottish Premiership as they welcome a resurgent Hibs to Glasgow in the Scottish Premiership this weekend.
Set for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday, it will be the third time the sides have faced each other already in a campaign that has proven quite the contrast for the teams.
Celtic moved seven points clear of second-placed Aberdeen on Wednesday night as Reo Hatate’s late strike saw them take a vital 1-0 win at Pittodrie, while Hibs’ tough start sees them in the relegation places. Unbeaten in the last two though, David Gray’s side will head to Glasgow in confident mood after a triumphant 3-0 win over Motherwell last weekend.
While the visiting champions have practically a full squad to choose from, Hibs do arrive in the east end of Glasgow with some injury concerns, though they will be boosted by the return of a key defender who has been forced to sit out the last three games.
One of the Scottish Premiership’s most intriguing ties of the weekend, The Scotsman has all the latest injury news for both sides ahead of the match:
