David Gray has named his Hibernian starting XI for this afternoon’s Scottish Premiership clash with Celtic. The Easter Road side sit in 11th place and have been under intense pressure due to their poor start to the season. However, an impressive 3-0 win away to Motherwell has added a renewed sense of optimism in their ranks.
Hibs: Smith, Miller, O’Hora, Iredale, Bushiri, Obita, Triantis, Newell, N.Cadden, Youan, Kuharevich.
Subs: Bursik, Levitt, Doyle-Hayes, Boyle, C.Cadden, Moriah-Welsh, Hoilett, Campbell, Gayle.
There is no Kwon in the Hibs squad given that he is ineligible against his parent club. The South Korean midfielder has been involved with Hibs this season and will be keen to continue his progress and help results improve.
Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers has named his Celtic team for the game and the Irishman makes five changes from the side that beat Aberdeen.
Celtic: Schmeichel, Johnston, Trusty, Scales, Taylor, McGregor, Engels, McCowan, Kuhn, Maeda, Idah.
Subs: Sinisalo, Kyogo, Valle, Yang, Carter-Vickers, Bernardo, Hatate, Forrest, Ralston.
The game kicks off at 3pm.
