CELTIC host Hibs at Parkhead this evening in a return to domestic action.
It is the first meeting between the sides since Kyogo Furuhashi’s brace at Hampden last month secured the Scottish League Cup for the Hoops.
Hibs come into the game in fine form however with new boss Shaun Maloney winning his first two games in charge against Aberdeen and Dundee United respectively.
Celtic meanwhile will look to continue an unbeaten streak in the league which began back in late September. A win would see them close the gap on their Glasgow rivals to 3 points.
