Match Preview

Hibernian and Celtic meet in the Scottish Premiership for the fourth and final time in the 2025/26 campaign, with a win apiece between the Hibees and the Hoops alongside a goalless draw in September.

Hibernian lost back-to-back Edinburgh derbies in the Scottish Premiership against Hearts for the first time since April 2014, as the Hibees shot themselves in the foot before the Jambos made the most of their numerical advantage at Easter Road last weekend. Still with a chance of qualifying for European competition, Hibs could end up helping Hearts as they aim to finish the season strongly.

Celtic have now won their past nine meetings with Falkirk in all competitions, after their 3-1 success at Celtic Park against the Bairns on Saturday evening. Only once before have the Hoops enjoyed a longer winning run over Falkirk, winning 10 on the spin between March 1950 and August 1954. Having lost to Hibs at Parkhead in their last meeting back in February, the Bhoys will be out for revenge.

Celtic could place huge pressure on both title rivals - Hearts and Rangers who go head-to-head on Monday night at Tynecastle - should they leave Easter Road with all three points against Hibs.
