Hibernian and Celtic could provide a lively and entertaining affair at Easter Road.

Neil Lennon's side finally broke a nightmare run of seven games without a win last week when they edged out Hamilton Accies away.

Celtic were outplayed by Salzburg in midweek and the loss of injured Ryan Christie and Leigh Griffiths for personal reasons won't help.

The odds-on Hoops look too short and for all Hibs' recent struggles, Lennon usually manages to get his side to raise their game for the big occasions.

Both sides should have a go and are weakened defensively and that could lead to goals at both ends.

Recommendation
Over 2.5 goals & both teams to score
1pt 11-8 Sky Bet
