Celtic F.C. Proven Champions: Exciting Matchday at Easter Road Stadium

Exciting Matchday at Easter Road Stadium

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is in full swing , but Easter Road is the place to be for capital thrills on matchday two of the Scottish Premiership . It 's rarely dull when Celtic F.C. travel to Leith to face Hibernian F.C. , and the fact Brendan Rodgers only notched his first victory as Hoops boss there last season shows just how tough a venue it can be . Hibernian Football Club have put their faith in the legendary Scottish Cup - winning captain , David Gray , after the 36 - year - old stepped in as a temporary boss on previous occasions.

Double Header Against Celtic for Gray and His Men

This is the first of a double header against Celtic F.C. for Gray and his men , with a Premier Sports Cup clash at Parkhead to follow seven days later . Hibernian will want to lay down a marker , but it will be tough going against a Celtic side who looked in ominous form for their domestic rivals with a thumping 4 - 0 win against Kilmarnock on the opening day . The hosts suffered a 3 - 0 defeat to St Mirren in their first fixture , while the visitors enjoyed a 4 - 0 victory against Kilmarnock in their opening game.

Upturn in Form for Hibernian

After finishing third in 2020 - 21 , Hibernian will be extremely disappointed with their inconsistency in the following three campaigns , placing eighth , fifth , and eighth . Their form has seen an upturn since the closing stages of last season , winning seven of their last 11 matches across friendly and competitive competitions . Celtic , on the other hand , continued their phenomenal run of form from last year and pre - season into their opening match of the 2024 - 25 Scottish Premiership , humiliating Kilmarnock with a 4 - 0 win.

Predictions for the Match

Hibernian will host Celtic at the Easter Road Stadium on Sunday in the Scottish Premiership , seeking their first points of the season after an opening - day defeat , while the reigning champions aim to maintain their winning momentum . Despite having plenty of opportunities in their opening match , Hibernian were unable to hit the target and are unlikely to have as many chances in this one . We predict a comfortable 3 - 0 win for Celtic , who are on a phenomenal run of results that stretches across from last campaign.
