The Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou will be thankful to have no fitness worries whatsoever coming into this clash with a fully healthy squad ready to go.

We think that The Bhoys will probably employ a 4-3-3 formation for this one with Joe Hart, Tony Ralston, C. Carter-Vickers, Carl Starfelt, Alexandro Bernabei, Matt O'Riley, Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate, Liel Abada, Kyogo Furuhashi and Daizen Maeda.

Hibernian boss Lee Johnson has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Kyle Magennis (Knee Problems), Jake Doyle-Hayes (Ankle Injury), Rocky Bushiri (Ankle Injury), Martin Boyle (Knee Surgery) and Aiden McGeady (Hamstring Injury) can’t be considered.

We reckon that The Hibees might make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to David Marshall, Chris Cadden, Will Fish, Paul Hanlon, Lewis Stevenson, CJ Egan-Riley, James Jeggo, Ewan Henderson, Josh Campbell, Élie Youan and Matthew Hoppe.
