Celtic will host Hibernian at Celtic Park on Wednesday in another round of the 2023-24 Scottish Premiership campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a brilliant league campaign and will fancy themselves early title favorites. They picked up a 3-1 comeback win over St. Johnstone in their last match, heading into the break a goal down before Scottish duo Callum McGregor and James Forrest and Denmark international Matt O'Riley got on the scoresheet in the second half to hand the Celts a deserved victory.
Celtic sit atop the league table with 39 points from 15 games. They are eight points above rivals Rangers in second place and will be looking to widen that gap come Wednesday.

The visitors sit fifth in the Premiership standings with 21 points. They will be looking to continue their winning streak when they play this week.
