Celtic are back to domestic action this weekend when they face Hibernian at home.

The Hoops are licking their wounds from the 4-1 loss against Stuttgart but know that the title race is well and truly alive after last weekend’s results.

Martin O’Neill will be expecting a reaction from his players and 67 Hail Hail’s writers are also expecting the Bhoys to get back to winning ways.

How confident are you that Celtic can beat Hibs this weekend?

Forget the Europa League now, that’s done and dusted, all eyes should be on the title.

Hearts are showing cracks and we know that Rangers love to hit the self-destruct button. All Celtic can do is focus on themselves and get three points.

David Gray’s side won’t be pushovers, and domestically, O’Neill does seem to find a way of getting over the line.

I’m going for a narrow win.

Callum’s prediction: Celtic 2-1 Hibs

Patrick Sinat

With nothing much to shout about since the Stuttgart defeat, O’Neill will be hoping for a pick-me-up against Hibs.

Sitting fifth in the table and chasing Motherwell, Gray’s side have a lot to play for.

This is a potential banana skin but going for a narrow Celtic win.

Paddy’s prediction: Celtic 2-1 Hibs

Martin Crawford

After a seriously bruising night, very little to say other than just win. The team simply can’t afford to allow the negativity to continue.

It won’t be easy either, after a series of poor performances which have left the team needing saved by a late winner.

Martin’s prediction: Celtic 1-0 Hibs

Amir Mir

Freshen the team up, and hopefully it will reflect itself on the pitch. But I wouldn’t be surprised if this is another abject display.

If Hibs are clinical, they can cause more than a few problems for Celtic’s backline.

Dropped points incoming, in my opinion 1-1, with Luke McCowan on the scoresheet for the Bhoys.
