Celtic host Hibernian in a Scottish Premiership matchday 29 fixture on Saturday (March 18).

Hibernian, meanwhile, fell to a 4-1 home defeat to Rangers n the league despite taking an early lead. Connor Goldson's eighth-minute own goal put the Hibs ahead, but Rangers drew level almost immediately through James Tavernier's penalty. Antonio Colak scored a brace, while Fashion Sakala scored and provided an assist as Rangers completed the rout.
Celtic lead the way atop the standings with a nine-point advantage, having garnered 79 points from 28 games. Hibernian, meanwhile, are fourth with 40 points from 28 outings.

Hibernian, meanwhile, are in the hunt for European qualification and will be eager to get back to winning ways, having seen their seven-game unbeaten run come to an end.
