Celtic and Hibs are clearly the two in-form teams in the Premiership and they clash in what could be a spicy Scottish Cup quarter finals on Sunday.
Hibs have been transformed from relegation battlers after a horror start to the season which pushed manager David Gray to the absolute brink, to an in-form force in the league who are now in third place.
The capital club have just enjoyed a dream week after beating Celtic at Easter Road, winning away at Dundee United and beating derby rivals Hearts in Leith.
They are in incredible form just now and their last defeat anywhere was at the start of December…at Celtic.
Hibs will be backed by 7,000 fans at Parkhead and they will travel along the M8 with more optmism for years.
Celtic were given a real scare by St Mirren last week when they twice conceded a lead in Paisley with the hosts looking the most likely to win before Brendan Rodgers turned to his bench.
His triple substitution completely changed the game and the champions went on to clinch a highly-flattering 5-2 win.
But that's the strength in depth of Celtic – they have the ability to completely change games.
How the bookies view it: Hibs form ignored
Despite their recent run and win over Celtic, that appears to have impressed the layers not one bit! Celtic are massive 1/4 favourites with Boylesports with a Hibs win 15/2. The draw is 4/1.
Recent head to heads: Hibs aiming for quickfire double
Hibs stunned Celtic with a 2-1 win at Easter Road last week and it's not often any team wins twice in a row against Celtic.
But Celtic won the previous five games and the Leith side haven't won at Parkhead since 2010.
Players to watch: Yang the man
Yang Hyun-Jun surely did enough last week when coming off the bench and scoring a double to merit a start and the South Korean is 9/4 to score anytime with Boylesports.
Jack Iredale netted a stunning winner as he became the derby hero last week for Hibs. He is a massive price at 16/1 to score anytime with the same firm.
Predicted line-ups:
Celtic only have James Forrest injured although Austin Trusty is a doubt after coming off injured last week.
Hibs can't use on loan Celtic player Kwon Hyeok-Kyu against his parent club. Joe Newell is a doubt.
Celtic: Schmeichel, Johnston, Cater-Vickers, Scales, Schlupp, Hatate, McGregor, Engels, Yang, Maeda, Jota.
Hibs: Smith, O'Hora, Iredale, Bushiri, C Cadden, N Cadden, Moriah-Welsh, Triantis, Boyle, Bowie, Campbell
Anything else catch the eye?
Celtic were particularly irked at that defeat at Easter Road the other week and expect them to come out here all guns blazing to try and burst Hibs' bubble.
They had a goal disallowed which should have stood and have harboured a sense of grievance about it ever since.
They were caught on their feet in Edinburgh and 2-0 down at the break. You can be sure they will be desperate to avoid tha start this time – back Celtic to win half time anf full time at a backable 4/5 with Boylesports.
Hibs are a team who will have a go and they usually get corners. They have won 12 against Celtic in their last two matches against them home and away. So back them to get four or more at 6/5 with bet365.
Celtic give teams opportunities and have only kept two clean sheets in their last eight Premiership games. Back a home win and over 3.5 goals at 8/5 with Boylesports.
