Just two games remain in what has been an outstanding Premiership campaign for Celtic this season, and it's a trip to Easter Road tonight for their final away day of the season.
Hibs are battling for European football, and might well need a favour from the Hoops in the Scottish Cup Final if they are to sneak into the Conference League qualifiers in fifth. But they will be looking to add to Ange Postecoglou's recent concerns with his side slumping to a second draw at home last time out against St Mirren.
A Curtis Main double put them behind twice at Parkhead, requiring goals from Kyogo and Callum McGregor to salvage a point, and the Celtic boss will be looking to restore some winning confidence in his side ahead of their showdown with Inverness next month.

Big questions hang over the defence, with Alistair Johnston back in training after his injury from the Scottish Cup semi-final, but you feel it could be a case of preserving the right-back for the final two games of the season rather than risking it.
The centre-back dilemma rears its head once again also, with Yuki Kobayashi's tough day out at Ibrox and Tomoki Iwata's unfamiliar experience in the defence leaving Postecoglou with a tough call.
It may well be the case that it's a return to the back four for the former of the two alongside Carl Starfelt, Greg Taylor and Anthony Ralston, as despite Hibs threats up front, it's not a team they have had too many issues with this season.
McGregor, Hatate and O'Riley have impressed in recent weeks despite the dropped points to Motherwell, Rangers and St Mirren, but they can be expected to run the middle of the park, behind the usual suspects Daizen Maeda, Jota and Kyogo up front.
