Hibernian face a trip to Celtic at Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Hibees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 81 and win only 23 of the 134 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
