Celtic Predicted XI vs Hibernian: Key changes coming

Defence, Midfield and Attack

Josip Juranovic

Juranovic is Celtic’s best right-back right now even though he has played at left-back on a number of occasions this season. Expect him to be back to his preferred position though.

Cameron Carter-Vickers

Another excellent signing from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer. He might be only on loan but is a key member of this team and has been since when he arrived.

Carl Starfelt

Starfelt played in midweek and is expected to be playing in this one as well. He has struggled a bit lately and could do with a confidence booster.

Greg Taylor

Taylor has not started for the past couple of games but it might be time to bring him back into the fold of things.

Callum McGregor

The club will need the leadership of their captain as they aim to bounce back from their disappointing defeat in midweek, resulting in their European elimination for the season.

Matt O’Riley

O’Riley has done a good job since coming in and might be a better fit in this system than Rogic.

Reo Hatate

Hatate has been an excellent signing for Celtic since arriving in the summer as well, even though a couple of his recent displays have looked a touch off colour.

Liel Abada

Abada has been one of the finds of the season till now and hopefully will continue to improve and contribute to the club, and their aim of getting back into the Champions League.

Giorgos Giakoumakis

Giakoumakis scored a hattrick against Dundee FC last week and hopefully he will make an impact on this occasion as well. On the other hand, Daizen Maeda just does not look ready to lead the line yet.

Jota

Jota is another key player who was left out of the team in Norway but will hopefully be back to play against Hibernian.
