Ange Postecoglou has named his Celtic side to face Hibs at Parkhead this afternoon.
The champions have been in excellent form all season and are edging towards back to back league titles. They've tasted defeat just once the whole campaign while the only other blemish was a draw with Rangers at Ibrox. The Hoops currently boast a record of 26 wins, one draw and one defeat and they will be determined to make it No27 in the win column.
Lee Johnson and Hibs make the trip to Glasgow after a hammering at Easter Road against Rangers last time out. Before that heavy defeat they had went on an excellent unbeaten run and a huge upset in the east end would really boost the visitors' chances of securing a top six position and European football next season.

Speaking ahead of this one, the Celtic boss said: “We enjoy playing every game and every team, there’s no one we especially like playing or not playing.
'It’s another opportunity for us to play our football and maintain our standards and performances and improve on them.'
“It’s another challenge for us against Hibs who have been in good form and prior to the last game they went seven unbeaten.
“They have brought in some good young talent in the January window and it will be a challenge. We treat every opponent with the same respect and we go into every game looking to play our football.”
CELTIC XI: Hart, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor, McGregor, Hatate, O'Riley, Jota, Maeda, Kyogo
Subs: Bain, Haksabanovic, Abada, Turnbull, Kobayashi, Oh, Bernebei, Summers, Ralston
