CELTIC travels to Easter Road on Sunday, hoping to kick on their season. Their loss in Norway must be put to the back of the player’s minds with the Hoops still fighting for two trophies this season.

Sunday’s match is set to be a brilliant game. Hibs have won their last two encounters, and Celtic is on a grand form run.

Postecoglou will be looking for a response from his players, although it will be a changed team compared to the eleven he names midweek.

Maloney faces his struggles heading into the match, which is a must-win for Celtic to maintain, or stretch, their advantage at the top come Sunday night.

When and where?

The kick-off is at noon on Sunday at Easter Road, three hours before the team in second place’s match commences.

How to watch

Sky have chosen to show the game. From 11 am, the broadcaster will build-up to the match on Sky Sports Football.

Referee?

Kevin Clancy will be the man with the whistle. Dougie Potter and David Doig will be operating their flags, and the Fourth Official is due to be Grant Irvine. 

Team news

Celtic are set to welcome Ideguchi back to the squad after he missed midweek’s tie – he is not registered in Celtic’s European squad.

David Turnbull and Kyogo are not due back for some time; they are set to miss the match.

Postecoglou will likely field his star names, with many being named on the bench in Norway.

Maloney faces the headache of nine first-team players out. Although most are not regular starters, the new manager will likely rely on youth players to fill the matchday squad.
