📋 Team News: Hibernian

Hibernian boss David Gray has to choose a team with limited availability. Élie Youan (Leg injury), Junior Hoilett (Hamstring injury) and Jake Doyle-Hayes (unknown injury) miss out here.

🔮 Prediction

It looks to us that Celtic have it within them to be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

At the same time, Hibernian may well struggle to get a goal of their own but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be scoring.

We’re therefore anticipating a controlled 3-1 margin for Celtic at the conclusion of the game.
