Celtic and Hibernian trade tackles in the Scottish Cup quarter-final on Sunday at Celtic Park.
The hosts are coming off a 5-2 win at St. Mirren in the Scottish Premiership last weekend. Jeffrey Schlupp and Arne Engeles scored either side of Declan John's third-minute strike to put the Hoops 2-1 up at the break.
Killian Philips equalised three minutes into the second half, but Hyun-Jun Yang made an immediate impact off the bench. He put the visitors 3-2 up midway through the second half before completing his brace in injury time after Daizen Maeda's 88th-minute goal.
Brendan Rodgers' side now shift their focus to the cup. They booked their spot at this stage with a 5-0 home thrashing of Raith Rovers in the previous round, while Hibernian qualified with a 1-0 win at Ayr.

Celtic vs Hibernian Prediction
Rangers' shock elimination at home to Queen's Park in the previous round leaves their Old Firm rivals as the heavy favourites to win this season's Scottish Cup. Celtic are the two-time defending champions.
However, standing in their way are an in-form Hibernian side who have simply forgotten how to lose. David Gray's side haven't tasted defeat in over three months and come into this game on a three-game winning streak, which was kicked off with a win over Celtic.
Nevertheless, expect Rodgers' side to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
