Celtic FC will face Hibernian on Wednesday - Cinch Scottish Premiership

The Scottish Premiership continues this midweek and will see Hibernian host Celtic at Easter Road on Wednesday.

Hibernian, who went unbeaten in their first seven games of the Premiership season, have gone off track lately, losing all of their last three games. They were beaten 1-0 by Aberdeen on Saturday in a lackluster game which saw them fail to get a shot on target.

Hibernian sit fifth in the Scottish Premiership with 15 points from 10 games. They will be looking to return to winning ways on Wednesday and get their season back on track.

Celtic seem to have picked up form lately as they have now won four consecutive games after winning just twice in their eight games prior. They beat St Johnstone 2-0 in their last league outing with goals from Giorgos Giakoumakis and Josip Juranovic.

Celtic sit one place above their hosts in the league table and have picked up 19 points in their 10 games so far. They will be looking to continue their good run of form when they face Hibernian on Wednesday as they look to return to the summit of Scottish football.
