Celtic vs Hibernian

Celtic plays Hibernian at Celtic Park during the Scottish FA Cup quarter-final round on Sunday afternoon to defend their title.

The contest concluded with Raith Rovers getting defeated 5-0 by Celtic but Hibernian needed their solitary goal to edge Ayr United during the previous round.

Celtic maintain their dominant position in Scottish football during current season since they have already won the Scottish League Cup and are leading the Scottish Premiership standings and fighting to defend their Scottish FA Cup championship.

During this campaign The Bhoys lost only five games out of 45 matches but they suffered three defeats within their last ten matches.

Recentemente Os Bhoys lost 2-1 to the Sunday opponents from the Scottish Premiership yet managed successful rebounds with wins against Aberdeen 5-1 and St Mirren 5-2.

Brendan Rodgers leads Celtic into a Hibernian challenge seeking three consecutive Scottish FA Cup title retentions along with another victory in this match.

Hibernian defeated Celtic already this season by a 2-1 score in the month of February and currently approach their next matchup in excellent form.
The team began their season by winning only five out of their first 21 games but they now show a flawless record of 15 matches succeeding each other with 11 victories and 4 draws.

The team has secured two consecutive tournament victories with Clydebank FC falling 3-0 and Ayr United succumbing to a 1-0 defeat and now aims for the next round of success in this competition on Sunday.

The home team will be missing Auston Trusty (head), James Forrest (foot), and Paulo Bernardo (ankle) due to ongoing injuries, but the rest of the squad should be fit for selection.

Following his impressive impact off the bench with two goals against St Mirren, Yang Hyun-Jun could earn a place in the starting lineup, joining Adam Idah and Jota in the attack.

Liam Scales is expected to pair with Cameron Carter-Vickers at the heart of the defense, while Anthony Ralston and Greg Taylor are likely to occupy the full-back roles.

On the other hand, Hibernian will be without Joe Newell due to a groin injury, and Warren O'Hora remains doubtful after picking up a knock in their previous match.

Aside from these potential absences, the starting lineup may stay the same as the one that secured a 2-1 victory over Hearts last weekend, with Martin Boyle and Kieron Bowie leading the attack.
