Hibernian and Celtic meet often enough that they should know each other well, and in the last six meetings Celtic have taken the win in four. But there was one match where Hibernian went away and beat Celtic at Celtic's own ground 1-2 back in February, which shows this is not a fixture where the result settles easily every time. Hibernian come into this with their defence still not settled, having lost their last two matches by a single goal each, and across the season they have already conceded 14 goals in 9 matches. Celtic, meanwhile, remain a team that scores in floods, with 23 goals in 9 matches, and they had just thrashed the opposition 7-1 in the league in their previous match. But their last two European games showed that the back line is not tight all the time. The pattern of play should see Celtic dominate possession and push high, while Hibernian wait for the chance to counter. The first half may stay close because Hibernian are decent enough at home, but in the second half, if Celtic can keep upping the tempo, that is likely to be the spell when the game breaks open.
