Celtic preview: Iheanacho to earn a start
Brendan Rodgers will be delighted with how his new signing, Kelechi Iheanacho, has started his Celtic career, with the former Leicester frontman scoring twice and registering one assist in his first three appearances for the club. Iheanacho should be given his first league start for the club this weekend. Johnson, Trusty and Jota are all out injured.
Predicted lineup: Schmeichel (GK), Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Tierney, McGregor, Nygren, Hatate, Maeda, Iheanacho, Tounekti
Last five results
- Red Star Belgrade 1-1 Celtic
- Partick Thistle 0-4 Celtic
- Kilmarnock 1-2 Celtic
- Rangers 0-0 Celtic
- Kairat 0-0 Celtic
Hibernian preview: Injuries to key players
Hibernian's task on Saturday is made doubly difficult due to the fact that they will be without Alasana Manneh and Joe Newell, with the pair nursing injuries. The fact that they have had a week to prepare while Celtic have been in Belgrade could aid them, though.
Predicted lineup: Smith (GK), O'Hora, Kiranga, Iredale, C.Cadden, Mulligan, Levitt, N.Cadden, Boyle, Bowie, McGrath
Last five results
- Falkirk 2-2 Hibernian
- Rangers 2-0 Hibernian
- Hibernian 3-3 Dundee Utd
- Hibernian 1-1 St. Mirren
- Legia 2-3 Hibernian
Player to watch: Daizen Maeda
Daizen Maeda has been a consistent goalscorer for Celtic for several seasons now, but his form has been slightly below par at the beginning of the current campaign. With just one league goal to his name so far, the Japanese international will be desperate to rediscover his scoring touch this weekend.
