Hibernian vs Celtic: Preview, Prediction, Lineup & How to watch on TV
By Kian Long
Celtic got off to winning ways in their opening match of the Scottish Premiership last weekend, more than can be said for their Glasgow rivals. It was always expected to be a difficult match against Kilmarnock but the Hoops made it look easy, slotting four goals past them, including some unlikely goal-scorers.
Reo Hatate, Liam Scales, Nicolas Kuhn and Anthony Ralston were all on the scoreboard for the home team. A successful Flag Day to say the least.
Next up for Brendan Rodgers is the first away fixture of the season. His side will face Hibernian away from home. The Hibs got off to an unfortunate start to their campaign, losing to St. Mirren. Therefore, they will be eager to prove a point against the league leaders and defending champions, but the Hoops will be after nothing except a win.

The unfortunate news for Hibs is that Elie Youan is missing from action at the start of this campaign, as he isn't expected back until late August.

He is expected to play another role from the bench to acclimatise.

Hibernian vs Celtic Score Prediction
Celtic are top of the table and ideally, Rodgers would like to keep it that way. There will be obstacles along the way but Hibernian are not expected to be one of them. This game could finish Hibernian 0-2 Celtic. Another clean sheet and plenty more to build on.
