History of the Hibernian v Celtic fixture
Hibernian prepare to entertain Celtic at Easter Road Stadium on Sunday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 36 of the 149 games played, and losing 76.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was earlier this season, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-4 winners in a Scottish League Cup match.
