Team news

Hibernian
Martin Boyle might not be fit enough to start, while Vykintas Slivka, David Gray and Darren McGregor are set to miss out.

Celtic
Captain Scott Brown should shrug off a knock, but they are still missing Vakoun Bayo, Leigh Griffiths, Mikey Johnston, Jozo Simunovic, keeper Scott Bain and Jack Hendry.

Match preview

Celtic should bludgeon their way past hapless Hibs in their Betfred Cup semi-final at Hampden Park.

The Easter Road club avoided slumping to the bottom of the Ladbrokes Premiership in midweek thanks to an injury-time leveller against Livingston.

But it's hard to see that masking serious issues. They are a soft side low on confidence.

The wide-open spaces of Hampden should perfectly suit the Hoops, who are going for their tenth consecutive domestic trophy triumph.

An in-form Odsonne Edouard could run amok and it could be a case of damage limitation for Hibs.

Key stat

Hibs have drawn their last six league and cup matches.
