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.

Prediction: Celtic 2-1 Hibernian
