Saturday 27th December 2003
Celtic Park
Kick Off 3.00

Christmas has come and gone, and it's back to league action tomorrow, as Celtic take on Hibs at Celtic Park.

Hibs are the only Scottish side to have defeated the league leaders this season, that was two weeks ago at Easter Road in the CIS Cup, Hibs running out deserved 2-1 winners. Hopefully tomorrow will be no repeat of the heartless performance by Celtic that night.

The Hoops are in good shape for the game, but it is unknown whether or not Henrik Larsson will be risked, with the huns game only a week later.

Hibs will certainly be up for the match, and will take confidence from the fact they outplayed us in the previous meeting.

Martin O'Neill will be looking for revenge, and there is no better place to gain an advantage than Parkhead. I hope the crowd get behind the team, let's look for plenty of festive singing, create a good atmosphere and to the so called fans who leave early - don't even bother turning up at all.

Enjoy the game.

Celtic-Mad Prediction: Celtic 3-0 Hibs
