Celtic are set to face Hibernian in a Scottish Premiership match, aiming to bounce back from a recent European loss. They have been in strong league form under Martin O'Neill, winning 15 of their previous 16 domestic fixtures. Celtic's last two results were a 2-0 win against Motherwell and a 7-1 victory over Hearts. The team is led by a dominant performance at home.
Celtic have positive team news ahead of the match, with defensive players Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston returning to full training. Additionally, Jota, Landon Emenalo, and Shim Mheuka are available for selection after being unavailable for the European match against Celta Vigo. Callum Osmand is also available after being substituted in the midweek match due to a cramp.
The main fitness concern for Celtic is winger Yang Hyun-jun, who is working his way back from a hamstring problem and is a significant doubt for the match. A possible starting lineup has been suggested, with Sinisalo in goal and other regular players featuring. The match is scheduled to kick off at 1pm BST on Sunday.
