Hibs v Celtic betting preview, tip, team news, stat and TV channel

Sky Sports Football, 12.30pm Sunday

Hibs have produced only one really bad performance since they appointed Paul Heckingbottom as manager in February and he should have learned plenty from that defeat against Celtic.

Neil Lennon returns to Easter Road as Celtic close in on another title and his side are unsurprisingly a prohibitive price.

But Hibs have been in fine form and look good value to at least net before the closing stages.

Heckingbottom will be desperate to make amends for that defeat and they are sure to give it a real go.

Celtic breezed to a Hampden win over Aberdeen last week, but expect the capital side to give them a far bigger test.

Recommendation
Hibs to score before 79th minute
