CELTIC might feel they owe Hibs one when the teams lock horns in the midday showdown at Easter Road today.
The champions were hit by a classic sucker-punch from the Edinburgh club at Parkhead in February after being reduced to 10 men following a contentious red card for Auston Trusty following a VAR intervention.
Earlier in the season, the Hoops fired blanks against David Gray’s team in a scoreless stalemate at the same venue, but claimed a well-deserved 2-1 win in the capital in November.
