Leigh Griffiths leads the line today as Celtic entertain Hibs at Celtic Park.

The Scotland striker came off the bench to score the winner away to Partick Thistle and takes over from Odsonne Edouard in attack.

Jozo Simunovic also returns to the starting XI,  replacing Mikael Lustig with Dedryck Boyata expected to play at right-back.

Hibs arrive at Celtic Park without Anthony Stokes who has fallen foul on Neil Lennon following an incident during the recent trip to Portugal.

The Edinburgh side are sitting in fourth place on their return to the top flight, five points ahead of city rivals Hearts and five behind Aberdeen in third spot.

After the midweek fixtures Celtic have the opportunity to reinforce their 11 point lead at the top of the Premiership table.

Aberdeen are at home to Kilmarnock today hoping to get back to winning ways while Sevco face Ross County tomorrow.

CELTIC: Gordon; Boyata, Simunovic, Ajer, Tierney; Brown, Ntcham; Forrest, McGregor, Sinclair; Griffiths

SUBS: De Vries, Bitton, Kouassi, Gamboa, Edouard, Miller, Dembele.
