Nick Montgomery has named his Hibernian side for this evening’s Cinch Premiership clash with Celtic. The visitors from the other side of the M8 were 1-0 winners when they hosted Aberdeen at Easter Road on Sunday and will be looking to equally frustrate Brendan Rodgers’ team.
Montgomery, who wants his teams to play in a certain attacking manner, has named a typically adventurous team as he sticks to his 4-4-2.
Hibs team v Celtic: Marshall, Miller, Fish, Bushiri, Stevenson, Levitt, Newell, Campbell, Tavares, Boyle, Youan.
Subs: Wollacott, Hanlon, Vente, Jeggo, Doidge, Harbottle, Molotnikov, Whittaker, Landers.
Celtic are unbeaten in 17 home league games against Hibs, with 13 wins and 4 draws, since a 2-1 defeat under Tony Mowbray in 2010. Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is looking for a reaction from his team after it left him fuming. The Irishman has made three changes, with Oh, Tomoki Iwata and Mikey Johnston being called up.
Celtic: Hart, A.Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor, McGregor, Iwata, O’Riley, M.Johnston, Palma, Oh.
Subs: Bain, Phillips, Kyogo, Turnbull, Holm, Tilio, Bernardo, Forrest, Ralston.
However, he has won just 3 of his 8 league meetings against Hibs – his lowest win ratio against any team in the Premiership, including Rangers.
