67 Hail Hail’s writers unanimously agree on Hibs vs Celtic prediction

Martin O’Neill will almost certainly take charge of Celtic for the final time this weekend when the Hoops face Hibernian on Sunday.

Celtic’s 3-1 win against Feyenoord was the highlight of O’Neill’s second spell in charge and three points in Edinburgh would be the perfect way to bow out.

Hibs have looked promising this season, though, and are third in the Scottish Premiership.

It won’t be an easy game but here, the writers at 67 Hail Hail have given their predictions on the game.

The wind is really in Celtic’s sails after that midweek win against Feyenoord. I’m now genuinely looking forward to watching us play again after the end of Brendan Rodgers‘ spell sucked all of the fun out of it.

Make no mistake, Hibs will be very tough to play against. They’ve lost one of their last 18 games at home and Easter Road is notoriously difficult to go to for the Hoops.

Still, I am confident that O’Neill ends his return on a high and passes the baton onto Wilfried Nancy with a win.

Prediction Hibs 0-2 Celtic

Patrick Sinat

Celtic will be buoyed after beating Feyenoord in the Europa League and confidence will be high.

No doubt the players will want to send O’Neill off with a big win and I think they will do that.

Prediction Hibs 0-3 Celtic

Amir Mir

Hibs will come at a very confident Celtic, so I expect there to be plenty of goals.

I think that will suit a fired-up Hoops team, who helped Martin O’Neill win his final European game in charge, and the same will happen here in his final match in charge.

Nygren, Maeda and McGregor to score.

Prediction Hibs 1-3 Celtic

I’ll go for O’Neill to bow out with a hard-earned win. Yang and Tounekti the scorers.

Hibs are well set up to hurt us, but we looked resolute against Feyenoord, and Martin is getting a tune out of this squad, so we’ve got reasons to be confident again.
