Footymad preview History of the Hibernian v Celtic fixture

Hibernian prepare to entertain Celtic at Easter Road Stadium at lunchtime on Sunday, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 36 of the 147 games played, and losing 74.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in January 2011, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-3 winners in a Scottish Premier match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Nothing seems to be going right for the The Hibees at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the The Bhoys come away with an easy victory. Away win
