Celtic will look to heap more misery on struggling Hibs as they make the journey to Easter Road in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday afternoon (kick-off: 12pm).
Martin O’Neill’s men enter the game on the back of two contrasting results, with last weekend’s 7-1 win against Hearts followed up by a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Celta Vigo in the Europa League. Currently four points clear at the top of the table, they’ll hope to extend that lead against bottom of the pile Hibs.
As for the hosts, Hibs are winless in their last six league games and are desperate for three points following last week’s 2-1 home defeat to fellow strugglers Falkirk. However, new head coach Marink Reedijk could be without up to seven first-teamers for the clash with the Scottish champions in the capital.
