Celtic return to domestic action this weekend as they welcome Hibs to Parkhead in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday (kick-off: 3pm).
A hard-fought 1-1 draw against Crvena zvezda in the Belgrade cauldron that is the Rajko Mitic Stadium resulted in Brendan Rodgers’ side taking a deserved point in their Europa League opener in midweek, but now they’ll centre their focus back onto the league as they aim to keep themselves ahead of Hearts at the top of the table.
As for their visitors, David Gray’s side will look to bounce back from a difficult midweek draw against Falkirk. Letting a two-goal lead slip at the Falkirk Stadium on Tuesday night, the 2-2 draw extended Hibs’ winless run to six games in all competitions.
Both Celtic and Hibs have big decisions to make with their starting line-ups. Will Daizen Maeda drop to the bench after his poor midweek performance against Crvena zvezda? Will Grant Hanley return to the Hibs back-line after their second-half collapse against Falkirk?
