Everything you need to know ahead of Celtic v Hibs in the Scottish Premiership

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers will be looking for a reaction from his players when his side take on Hibs in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday.

The defending champions may have recovered from a goal down to defeat St Johnstone 3-1 in Perth on Sunday, but Rodgers was left angered by his team’s first-half performance and left his players under no illusions that standards must improve.

The Northern Irishman will expect his demands to come to fruition at Celtic Park against a Hibs side who are displaying encouraging signs since the appointment of Nick Montgomery in September.

The Hibs boss has lost only two of his 13 games in charge and, while there have been too many draws, the Easter Road side head west along the M8 on the back of three consecutive league wins to close to within two points of third-placed Hearts.

Celtic are eight points clear of Rangers at the top of the standings but the Ibrox side have a game in hand.
