Celtic sealed a fourth consecutive Scottish Premiership title by thumping Dundee United 5-0 at Tannadice almost two weeks ago.
That was followed up by the 1-1 draw against Rangers at Ibrox in the last Old Firm clash of the season last weekend.
Brendan Rodgers’ side return to Celtic Park this Saturday and will know they’re in for a tough game.
Hibs are the visitors and David Gray’s men are still locked in the fight to finish in third spot.
Their incredible 17-game unbeaten run was brought to an end by Aberdeen a couple of weeks ago, a result that saw the Dons move level on points with the Hibees.
But Hibs bounced back to beat Dundee United last weekend while Aberdeen lost at St Mirren meaning it’s once again advantage Hibs.
Hibs beat Celtic at Easter Road in February, but it was a comfortable outing for the Hoops in a routine 3-0 win in Glasgow in December.
