Hibernian vs Celtic latest injury news: 8 out and 3 doubts with an exciting return on the cards
All the latest injury updates as Celtic travel to Edinburgh to face Hibs in the Premiership.
This midweek, Celtic will travel to Easter Road to face Hibs.
Discontent is brewing in the Parkhead stands, with fans directing their ire at the board. During Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Aberdeen, a banner was displayed in response to a criticized January transfer window.
That has given Rangers the opportunity to move above Celtic and into first place ahead of Wednesday’s capital clash if they defeat the Dons. Brendan Rodgers will be hoping for a positive result in Edinburgh to quell the rising unrest.
Nick Montgomery’s team could use some motivation. They were humbled 3-0 at home to St Mirren over the weekend.
That has put the boss under pressure ahead of the game. Rodgers has never won a game as Celtic manager at Hibs, and Montgomery will be keen to keep that record intact. He will benefit from the return of star attacker Martin Boyle and right-back Lewis Miller from the Asian Cup.
