Hibernian prepare to entertain Celtic at Easter Road Stadium on Sunday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 71 of the 142 previous games, with the The Hibees winning just 35.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Easter Road Stadium was less than a year ago, in March 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Scottish Premier match.

Recent respective form guides
Hibernian's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Hibees have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Celtic's away form is none too clever either, picking up four victories from the last six. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the The Bhoys, and 3 goals against.
Hibernian's 20 points from 16 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 6th position. Celtic are leading the way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, with their 16 games giving them a return of 43 points.

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