Reigning Scottish Premiership champions Celtic have a major roadblock to overcome when they host a troubling Hibernian side on Matchday 28. The Bhoys have a game in hand and can secure the top spot with a big enough win over Hibernian. However, Hibbs has all the tools to upset Celtic just as they did in their 0-0 stalemate in this very stadium earlier this season. Let's get into this match prediction!
Celtic were just absolutely humiliated at home with a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Stuttgart in the UCL playoffs. With elimination almost certain, The Bhoys' only hope for major silverware this season will be the home league title.
In truth, the trophy is in their grasp after major slipups from league leaders Hearts. Now, The Bhoys enter Game 28 with a game in hand and just three points off the top. A win here will bring them back level on points. But you can count on the visiting Hibbs to have very different plans.
After a string of losses and draws, Hibernian is looking to get back to winning ways to avoid slipping back into the relegation round. Hibernian did lose the latest meeting with Celtic (2-), but took more shots and finished with a higher xG (1.65 to 1.33).

Our Celtic vs Hibernian Prediction
For The Bhoys, only winning all three points will be on the agenda. This is the closest they've come to topping the Scottish Premiership table since Hearts took the lead and ran away with it. Expect an onslaught from the first whistle, and at least two goals scored from the team that has netted the second-most times.
We also expect a goal from Hibbs in this game, with the aim of drawing or snatching a shock win. For Hibernian, they must maintain their championship round spot amid a surge from lower-placed teams, who have two games in hand. Hence, our Celtic vs Hibernian prediction is Over 2.5 Goals.
