📈 Hibernian v Celtic Form & Tactics
Hibs come into this match having suffered back-to-back losses against Aberdeen and Hearts, but their discipline was what undid them in these games.
On both occasions, David Gray’s side had a player sent off in the first half. Last weekend against their city rivals, they played nearly half the game having been reduced to nine and yet still nearly held out. The last time they conceded a goal with 11 players on the park was 28 February.
Indeed, the Hibees form had been dependable before these results. They had been undefeated in six, while their only loss in nine was at Tynecastle in another derby. Included in that run was a 2-1 win over Celtic in Glasgow.
The Edinburgh side, meanwhile, have only lost three matches at Easter Road in the league all season: one each against Hearts, Rangers, and Celtic.
Celtic, meanwhile, have been far from their dominant selves domestically this term. Away games have proven a particular slog. While they have picked up nine wins in 17 (D3 L3), it’s notable that they have conceded 23 times on their travels and have scored 25.
While they have gained something of a head of steam in terms of results under Martin O’Neill, winning five of their last six, these wins have generally been of the unconvincing variety. Last week’s 3-1 triumph over Falkirk was just the 3rd time in their last 13 league games they have won by more than a single goal. They have yet to do so away from home in 2026, and have only done so twice all season – against Livingston on 27 December and versus Aberdeen back on 10 August.
Keeping clean sheets has been a major issue for Celtic. They have only one shutout in their last 10 league matches – that against a St Mirren team that has scored fewer goals than any other side in the league.
📔 Hibernian v Celtic Formation & Team News
Suspensions will hit Hibs hard in this game, with their recent run of red cards seeing regular goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger, experienced centre-back Grant Hanley and solid midfielder Felix Passlack all missing this game.
There are doubts over key midfielder Josh Mulligan in the heart of the park, but after returning to full training it should be expected he will be thrown into the fray.
Celtic’s concerns are largely of the long-term variety. Kasper Schmiechel, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Julian Araujo and Jota have all been pinned to the sidelines for weeks – and in some cases months.
There have been some doubts over left-back Kieran Tierney, but he should start this game. Alistair Johnston, meanwhile, may need to be patient for his chance to break back into the starting XI after enduring an injury-riddled campaign at right-back.
Daizen Maeda should lead the line after scoring twice against Falkirk last weekend.
