Hibs host Premiership champions Celtic this weekend as new manager Marink Reedijk strives for a first victory in charge.
A 2-1 loss to Falkirk last weekend put the Easter Road side bottom of the league and things don’t get much easier on Sunday. Celtic may have had an energy-sapping Europa League match with Celta Vigo on Thursday but their 7-1 trouncing of Hearts last weekend showed how devastating they can be.
A third defeat in a row is not being sought by Hibs, but an improved performance certainly is, and that’d give Reedijk a platform to build from with November 1’s Premier Sports Cup semi-final versus Hearts looming. Here is the injury latest and team news ahead of Hibs vs Celtic.
