Match Preview

Celtic will face off against Hibernian in a Premiership clash at Celtic Park on February 22, 2026 GMT.

Positioned in 3rd place in the standings, Celtic, with 54 points, will take on the 5th-placed Hibernian, who have accumulated 42 points in the league.

Celtic has shown strength at home, securing victories in 13 of their last 21 matches on their home turf.

On the contrary, Hibernian has struggled on the road, suffering losses in 67% of their last 6 away matches.

Looking at their historical head-to-head record, Celtic has emerged victorious 4 times in their last 6 league encounters against Hibernian.

With both teams gearing up for this matchup, the stage is set for an intriguing battle.

Anticipating an offensive affair, our algorithm predicts that over 2.5 goals will be scored in this contest.

Both Celtic and Hibernian won last weekend on league duty, with both of the current top six teams needing three points for different reasons in the Scottish Premiership.

Celtic's European adventure is all but over, after being battered 4-1 by VfB Stuttgart in the first leg of their Europa League playoff at Parkhead on Thursday night, but that might be to the Bhoys' benefit. Late winners against Livingston and Kilmarnock recently have been vital, with the Hoops scoring the most winning goals in the 90th minute or later in a Scottish Premiership campaign (5) since Rangers in 2016/17.

Hibernian were without a win in four Scottish Premiership matches at Easter Road against St Mirren (D1 L3), before the Hibees beat the Buddies 2-0 in Edinburgh to record a first home league win over Saints since May 2023. Hibs have pretty much secured a top six spot, bar an almighty collapse, but will aim to finish in the top five places of the league table as they aim to get back into European competition.

Despite Celtic's European embarrassment in midweek, the Hoops will hope to have too much for Hibs at home as they keep an eye on Hearts' match on Saturday and Rangers' game on Sunday.
