Celtic host Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday evening. The Hoops defeated St. Johnstone by three goals to one on Sunday despite a shaky beginning to the game.
In this one, manager Brendan Rodgers will be expecting a start that contrasts that of Sunday’s. Ahead of the game, CeltsAreHere tells you everything you need to know.
Where and WhenÂ
Celtic face Hibs this Wednesday the 6th of December at 7.45 pm UK time at Parkhead.

TV, Stream, and PPV
This match is not on mainstream television. It is, however, on pay-per-view for supporters inside the UK and Ireland for £12.99 via Celtic TV. For those outside of the UK and Ireland, the match will be live on Celtic TV.
Team NewsÂ
Brendan Rodgers recently confirmed that Luis Palma is fine for this one after limping off against St. Johnstone. Elsewhere in the team, there are no fresh concerns.
The Celtic boss did give updates on the likes of Liel Abada, Daizen Maeda, and Reo Hatate yesterday. They won’t be in contention for this one, however.
From Wednesday night’s game, nothing but three points will be acceptable for the champions. A win could see the Bhoys maintain, or potentially even extend, their eight-point lead at the top of the table as we get on with one of the busiest periods in the footballing calendar.
Play like first half against St johnstone could be introuble but weird the wingers and wingback were hesitant no understanding never hit the bye line second halve two johnstone on right side had more drive palma started crossing ball in Taylor has no confidence going forward can’t get poor pass out of his mind he let’s it affects him always looks for ball but pass is always back after he misses his target he has to keep trying to pass forward every back pass ruins move he passes back more than forward by more than 1in4 ho coming on gave midfield a target where kyoko looks for through balls ho will hold it up allowing players to run of him and kyoko a clever player nearly playing number 10 I wonder if they could start with kyoko and ho wyana for turnbull faster and can cover back quicker can’t go through another first half like perth game Rodgers must know his team every team we play in spl are mirrored like waste as much time as ref allows and Beaton will allow it from start he might blow for next to nothing no advantage retake fouls if balls moving but we have to go for juggler from start we need 2 goals cause hibs will get the chance to throw balls into box shy,freekicks,corner,kicks st johnstone scored which var should have disallowed hand ball so can’t rely on var or ref so get it done quick
