Celtic will take on Hibernian on Sunday, 22 February, in a huge match in the Scottish Premiership title race.
The hosts currently trail Hearts at the top of the division by three points, but with a game in hand, the title is well within their reach.
Hibernian, on the other hand, are chasing a place inside the top four, but defeat on Sunday would leave them with it all to do.

Correct score prediction: Celtic 1-1 Hibernian
Things are turning sour at Celtic Park, and their humiliating 4-1 defeat to Stuttgart on Thursday was a long time coming. More fan protests could be on the cards this weekend, which will only cause more issues for Martin O'Neill's side.

Most recent H2Hs: Advantage Celtic
Celtic have a good recent record against every other Scottish Premiership side, so it is no surprise to see how dominant they have been in this fixture in recent times. The Bhoys have won three of their last four and eight of their last 10 clashes with Hibs, who haven't won at Celtic Park since 2010.

Celtic preview: Changes should be expected
It's highly unlikely that O'Neill will stick with the same team that lost to Stuttgart, meaning Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could make his first start for the club on Sunday. In terms of injuries, O'Neill is missing Arne Engels, Callum Osmand, Jota, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston.
Predicted lineup: Schmeichel (GK), Araujo, Trusty, Scales, Saracchi, McGregor, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Maeda, Nygren, Hyun-Jun, Cvancara
Last five results
- Celtic 1-4 Stuttgart (UEFA Europa League)
- Kilmarnock 2-3 Celtic (Scottish Premiership)
- Celtic 2-1 Livingston (Scottish Premiership)
- Celtic 2-1 Dundee FC (Scottish Cup)
- Celtic 2-0 Falkirk (Scottish Premiership)
Hibernian preview: Five missing
Hibernian are set to be without five first-team players for this one, which doesn't exactly make their task easier on Sunday afternoon. The five players in question are Jordan Obita, Chris Gadden, Munashe Garananga, Grant Hanley and Josh Mulligan.
Predicted lineup: Sallinger (GK), O'Hora, Kiranga, Iredale, Passlack, Barlaser, Andrews, Cadden, McGrath, Suto, Elding
Last five results
- Hibernian 2-0 St. Mirren (Scottish Premiership)
- Hearts 1-0 Hibernian (Scottish Premiership)
- Hibernian 3-2 Dundee Utd (Scottish Premiership)
- Hibernian 0-0 Rangers (Scottish Premiership)
- Falkirk 4-1 Hibernian (Scottish Premiership)
Player to watch: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored a last-minute winner on his debut for Celtic two weeks ago, so it is a bit of a mystery as to why he is yet to make his first start for the club. The Bhoys need an injection of something, and the Ox could quite easily provide some magic in the final third.
