Hibernian host Celtic at Easter Road Stadium in Edinburgh in a Scottish Premiership fixture that carries real significance for both clubs as the season heads toward its conclusion.
Celtic arrive in the capital in commanding form. Brendan Rodgers' side have won four of their last five matches across all competitions, including a 3-1 victory over Falkirk in their most recent outing, and they sit third in the Premiership table.
Hibernian's recent run tells a different story. The hosts have lost two of their last three league games, including a 1-2 defeat to city rivals Hearts last weekend, and they currently occupy fifth place in the Premiership standings.
The head-to-head record adds further context. Hibs produced a notable result when they won 1-2 at Celtic Park in February 2026, but Celtic had taken the points at Easter Road when the sides met in November 2025, winning 1-2 on that occasion as well.
Celtic's attacking output has been sharp in recent weeks. That 6-2 dismantling of St. Mirren in the FA Cup demonstrated the firepower Rodgers can call upon, and the visitors will arrive with genuine confidence.
For Hibernian, this is a chance to arrest a difficult run of form on their own patch. Easter Road can be a difficult venue, and the home side will need a significant improvement on recent performances to take anything from this match.
