Hibs travel to Celtic Park on Monday night to kick off the second half of the season. The referee’s whistle will sound at 19:45 CPT.
The game will not be shown on Sky Sports so Celtic have announced that they will offer a Pay-Per-View option for Monday night’s home match against Hibernian.
For those unable to attend the game, Celtic have made it available in the comfort of the living room for £12.99. To find more out or to purchase the PPV click here.
As for team news, Celtic will be near full strength. Jota could make his return but Kyogo is a doubt, yet to return to full training. Turnbull is still out injured.
The Japanese trio are likely to feature. Maeda may replace the injured Kyogo and Hatate could take Turnbull’s position. The 24-year-old could take up Jota’s position, but Ange confirmed he would play in a midfield role. Jullien isn’t ready to compete after playing 45 minutes of a bounce game this week.
Hibs could field their new signings, but not Ewan Henderson, who is technically a Celtic player until the end of the season.
The last time these sides met was in the League Cup final, a Kyogo double won the Hoops the trophy.
Shaun Maloney will be in the Hibs dugout for the first time on Monday as the Edinburgh side start the year with an upset. Celtic will look to start as they mean to continue.
The Bhoys are looking to regain their crown but sit six points off the top. A win can hold the Ibrox side’s lead as they play a day later.
