Hibernian - Celtic

Hibernian face a daunting task as they look to arrest a worrying slide in form during their matchday 10 Premiership encounter at Easter Road Stadium on 25 October 2026. The hosts have struggled to find consistency, suffering consecutive league defeats against Falkirk and Dundee United, and they will need a significant defensive effort to contain a potent Celtic attack. With Callum Wright and Nathan Lowe both sidelined through injury, the expected XI led by Owen Elding and Martin Boyle faces a stern test of character against the visitors.

Celtic arrive at Easter Road Stadium following a heavy 7-1 victory over Heart of Midlothian, demonstrating the attacking quality that makes them formidable opponents. Although the visitors are missing Cameron Carter-Vickers, their recent domestic form remains largely impressive. History suggests a tight contest, as seen in their 1-2 result on 3 May 2026, but Celtic will be eager to assert their dominance once again.
