For matchday 28 of the Scottish Premiership, an exciting match arrives between Celtic and Hibernian, where Martin O’Neill’s team are expected to recover from the heavy UEFA Europa League defeat.

Being 6 points behind leaders Hearts, they need the victory, knowing they have 2 games in hand, and that it is a golden opportunity to slowly climb toward the first position.

For this match, there are high expectations of seeing a great game, but with that, it is expected that Martin O’Neill will line up his best pieces and give important minutes to some players.
