    Although they are just after beating the Sheep, it was only a week ago they were beaten by Ross County and only managed a draw with Killie before that, their recent form is nothing great.

    I think people are also reading too much into the Hamilton game because of the fact that we only managed a last min winner, but the bare stats speak for themselves as we had 67% of possession and managed 22 shots at goal in that match. On another day a few more of those shots would have went in and the scoreline would have been far more convincing, especially if we had Eddy upfront and not Morgan.

    Going for 4-1

    I was going for 4-1 against Hamilton. The point is it won’t be easy.

    I think I went 6-0 :giggle1:

    If Eddy started the scoreline would have probably have been around that IMO.

    We're better than Hibs, much better, plus we're on a high after winning a trophy.

    Ross brought St Mitten here and they have us a hard game he will set them up well and give us a game we beat Hamilton with a struggle to convert the chances we made and luck was on our side in the final. We need to up our game or we will have more games that are a struggle and could lead to dropped points.

    Some of the predictions in here, this will be a tough game, I'd take 2 nil now.

    Isn't Frimpong suspended for Sunday and the first game of the LC next year?

    Some people getting a bit carried away I think, Hibs seem to have turned a corner under Ross and already managed to take points off us this season. Any win will do for me.

    Prediction: Celtic 7 - 1 Hibs (offside goal)

    Just any solid win without injuries suits me...
    Clean sheet preferably..

    While a big win would be nice... I think with this winter run now...keeping the squad fit is priority once match is won.

    We have a points lead so GD isn’t so important for now. Just getting the points and avoiding injuries are crucial.

    They play a diamond in the middle so fairly narrow and will try to outnumber us in midfield, wont be an easy game.

    Think they're too open away from home..

    Went ahead in Dingwall and lost with some pathetic defending and they got battered at St Mirren but got the win. Also from the highlights on Sportscene from the weekend the sheep were clean through a few times the first half before they collapsed in the second..

    Honestly if they play this 2 up top with Boyle as the 10 behind and Allan and Mallan also.....we'll run through them in my opinion..

    Can't see Ross coming to us and opening up. If he's half the manger people seem to think he is then he def wont. You can see why he would do it against the others as they should be winnable games for Hibs but against us he won't or at least he shouldn't. Will be a tough game off the back of a run of tough games. Any win will do for me.

    The usual * with these teams in the next couple of games, new managers, never liked that we seemed to always give a helping hand at times to managers just in the door or under pressure, usually not a big deal but is now.
