Celtic prepare to entertain Hibernian at Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Bhoys are clearly on top, having won 85 and lost only 23 of the 140 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Celtic Park was less than a year ago, in May 2008, with Celtic running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Scottish Premier match.
