Hibernian prepare to entertain Celtic at Easter Road Stadium on Sunday afternoon at 14:00, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 68 of the 136 previous games, with the The Hibees winning just 33.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a Scottish Premier match though the last encounter was a 3-1 Hibs win at the home of Celtic.
