Celtic vs Hibernian Prediction

Celtic's victory over Aberdeen took them seven points clear at the summit of the standings with a game in hand. Brendan Rodgers' side are on course to successfully win the league title for the fourth season in a row. They have made a 14-game unbeaten start to the season (13 wins).

Hibernian will be aiming to be the first side to defeat the champions but their chances of achieving this are slim.

Barring an unlikely upset, there should only be one winner here. We are backing the hosts to cruise to a multi-goal victory and clean sheet.

Prediction: Celtic 4-0 Hibernian
