Coming up on Sunday at 3pm is Celtic v Hibs at Celtic Park. Judging by last weekend's chastening defeat at Easter Road by the same opponents, the omens are not good. It was only a 2-goal defeat, but Hibs Nil tells the real story. Hibs were never in the hunt in the first half and even a better second half only confirmed Celtic's superiority.
I read somewhere that Hibs haven't beaten Celtic in a cup-tie in the past 20 years. Assuming that is true, I also assume that that statistic isn't going to change. Thankfully we haven't played them very often. Goals scored are going to be hard to come by and goals conceded will come along regularly.
I wonder if Kwon will be allowed to play against his parent club in this match - he is exactly the type of player we need to perform well in every game. Our attack could cause Celtic problems on a good day, but they must be up for the challenge. Our defence? Well, read just about every Hibee's posts in just about every game this year to see what's wrong.
A decent performance is all I can hope for, with some free weekends coming up soon.
