Hibernian

Hibernian is looking to bounce back after a disappointing start to their season, suffering a 3-0 defeat to St. Mirren.

Hibernian will need to tighten up defensively and find a way to disrupt Celtic’s rhythm if they are to secure a positive result.

Celtic

Celtic started their season in style with a 4-0 victory over Kilmarnock, continuing their impressive form from the previous campaign.
