NEIL LENNON is back at Easter Road tomorrow for the lunchtime kick-off as his Celtic side look to make it a magnificent seven straight Premiership wins. There were plenty of changes to the side in midweek with Ntcham, Rogic and Bayo all in real contention for an appearance tomorrow. Hibs have just one league win and lost at home to Hearts last week but did get through in the Betfred Cup quarter final against Kilmarnock via a penalty shoot-out.

Easter Road is never an easy place for Celtic but this team is something special. Expect a 2-0 win.

Both sides will honour Pat Stanton who is a Hibs legend and was a class act in his one full season in the Hoops. His injury was a real blow to Celtic and resulted in a very rare trophy less season. He deserves the appreciation of our fans as well as the home support.

Here's what our manager had to say today...

We were used to seeing Pat as a cultured Hibbee trying desperately to stem a rampant Celtic side that always seemed to beat his team.

We did not know if he would manage the transition to our version of the big time at the age of 32, which was old for a player arriving at Celtic then.

He was bought to help settle some youthful defenders in 76 and only played for little over a year before a long term injury ended his playing days.

In that short period as a Sweeper for Celtic, he showed an intelligence and game-reading ability which was a bit of a novelty for us. Pat made only 37 appearances for Celtic and yet he really did make a real impression with the support. Absolute Class.

Absolutely fantastic player for Hibs. In fact played in one of the best teams that Hibs produced. Unfortunately they came up against an even better team from the End end of Glasgow.Think he was jocks last signing, cultured player beyond his years deserves a fantastic day from both sets of fans.

Great player and leader.
 
Great team WC agree Pat Stanton was a great player and would’ve been a Top player for Celtic. But for Injury hope he gets the applause and thanks from both sets of fans.

Great time to get hibs Wednesday will have taken alot out of them . Our team will be fresh and looking to impress the manager to keep their places . First time in ages we have a pool giving us two great teams . I'm enjoying our football this season and very excited. The only guy we haven't a quality replacement for is Scot Brown . Hibs will struggle with our pace today worth a few quid on a high score .
