⭐ Celtic v Hibernian Best Bet
Celtic to take the Most Corners in Each Half @ 1.62 on Paddy Power
Look for Celtic to hit the most corners in each half. The ferocious intensity in which Celtic attack often results in them racking up a high amount of corners. During their recent Scottish Premiership clash with Hibs, Brendan Rodgers’ side earned six and four corners during each half of the game. What’s more, Celtic managed to hit six and eight flag-kicks either side of the interval when they faced Hibs at Parkhead in December.
👕 Celtic v Hibernian Predicted XI

🔍 Celtic v Hibernian Players to Watch
🟢 Daizin Maeda
Daizen Maeda is in the form of his life. The Celtic forward netted his 26th goal of the season during last week’s 5-2 win over St Mirren. That goal output is made all the more impressive by the fact that Maeda has also registered nine assists this season. The 27-year-old scored during Celtic’s recent 2-1 loss at Hibernian and he also bagged a brace against them in a Scottish League Cup tie back in August.
⚪ Martin Boyle
Martin Boyle cuts a talismanic figure for Hibernian. Boyle’s pace and direct style make him a nightmare to defend against. The Hibs ace is up to 13 goals for the campaign after hitting the opening goal of the game against Hearts last weekend. The Australian international also isn’t afraid to do the dirty work when required, evidenced by the fact that he picked up his 5th yellow card of the season last time out.

💻 Celtic v Hibernian Form and Tactics
Celtic fell to a 2-1 defeat when they faced Hibernian a fortnight ago, so they will be keen to take some revenge in Sunday’s Scottish Cup quarter-final tie. The Glasgow giants will consider themselves unlucky to have come away empty-handed from Easter Road, having won the xG battle 1.78 to 0.67
However, Brendan Rodgers’ side have bounced back from that defeat with a pair of emphatic victories over both Aberdeen and St Mirren, banging in five goals in each of those two victories.
Over the course of the Scottish Premiership campaign, Celtic have kept a mightily impressive 19 clean sheets thus far. Rodgers’ side have proven particularly rock-solid at Celtic Park, silencing 12 of their 14 guests in the Scottish Premiership this season to date, including Hibernian.
Celtic have received just one yellow card in each of their previous two home games with Hibs this season.
Few would have expected Hibernian to be sitting third in the Scottish Premiership at this stage of the season when they were propping up the table back in November. However, the Hibees’ form since then has been exceptional. David Gray’s side extended their unbeaten run to 15 matches with a well-deserved 2-1 win over arch-rivals Hearts last Sunday.
Only Celtic (87) and Rangers (59) have scored more goals than Hibernian (44) in the Scottish Premiership this season. The capital club have scored two goals or more in six of their last eight Scottish Premiership matches, scoring three times against Rangers and twice against Celtic across that stretch of games.
Red cards have been somewhat of a theme in games involving Hibs this season. The Easter Road outfit have had four players dismissed in the Scottish top flight this term, while they have drawn five red cards from their opponents.
