Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has selected his lineup for the Scottish Premiership match against Hibernian at Easter Road, with Sam Johnstone starting in goal. The team selection comes after Celtic's disappointment in their Europa League match against Celta Vigo. O'Neill is likely focusing on the domestic league, where Celtic are looking to respond to their recent European defeat.

Hibernian are struggling, having lost three of their last four Scottish Premiership games, making them an unfavorable opponent for Celtic. Celtic won 2-1 on their last visit to Easter Road in May. The upcoming match is expected to be a key battleground in midfield between the two teams.

Celtic's lineup includes Colby Donovan, Dane Murray, Liam Scales, and Kieran Tierney at the back, with Callum McGregor, Mika Baur, and Benjamin Nygren in midfield. Callum Osmand and Camilo Duran support Kasper Hogh upfront. If needed, O'Neill has options to influence the game from the bench, including Jota and James Forrest.

How we label and update stories

Source context

Martin O’Neill has picked his Celtic lineup vs Hibernian for this afternoon’s Scottish Premiership encounter at Easter Road. Celtic suffered disappointment yet again in the Europa League in midweek when they were turned over at Celtic Park by Spanish side Celta Vigo. The blow had one journalist worrying that Celtic’s reputation in Europe is rapidly declining, while an ex-Scotland star questioned the club’s summer transfer business. Domestically is likely where O’Neill’s real focus lies at the moment, with the experienced boss knowing his squad are coming up short in Europe. He will be looking for a response today away at Easter Road, against a Hibs side who are struggling. Hibernian have lost three of their last four Scottish Premiership games, drawing the other, and Celtic are the last opponents they would like to face given that run.
