Celtic v Hibernian: Starting teams named for Premiership clash

Brendan Rodgers and David Gray have named their starting line-ups for the Celtic v Hibernian Premiership clash.

The Edinburgh side have travelled to Parkhead to take on the league leaders on Saturday.

Celtic are aiming to build on their seven-point lead at the table after beating second-placed Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Wednesday.

Hibs got themselves off the bottom of the Premiership with a 3-0 away win at Motherwell last weekend and could potentially jump up to as high as eighth if they hand the Hoops a first domestic defeat of the campaign.

Rodgers has started with Schmeichel in goals and a defence of Johnston, Trusty, Scales and Taylor.

Captain Callum McGregor anchors a three-man midfield beside Engels and McCowan with Maeda and Kuhn either side of Idah up front

Gray has Smith in goals behind Miller, O’Hora, Bushiri, Iredale, Obita, Triantis, Cadden, Newell, Youan, and Kuharevich.
