Hibernian prepare to entertain Celtic at Easter Road Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 73 of the 146 previous games, with the The Hibees winning just 36.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2010, with Celtic inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the The Hibees in a Scottish Premier match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the The Hibees at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Bhoys come away with an easy victory. Away win

| Hibernian | Drawn last 2 games at home. Failed to win in previous 4 home matches. Not won in the 7 most recent games. |
