Oliver Ntcham comes in for Ryan Christie as Celtic chase down the five points needed to secure the SPFL title.
Last week at Hampden Tom Rogic came in for the injured midfielder but at Easter Road Neil Lennon has opted for the additional strength of Ntcham with Callum McGregor expected to be pushed into a more advanced role. Emilio Izaguirre replaces Kieran Tierney who is being used sparingly.
After the drama and excitement of last week’s Scottish Cup semi-final win over Aberdeen it’s back to SPFL business today with five points needed to ensure the title.
Lennon was in the home dug out in December when Celtic crashed to a 2-0 defeat at Easter Road, a venue that Brendan Rodgers never won at.
In his second match as caretaker Lennon led Celtic to a 2-0 Scottish Cup win at Easter Road which is the only defeat that Paul Heckingbottom has suffered since taking charge of the, club.
Two weeks ago in their last outing Hibs came from behind to beat Hearts 2-1 at Tynecastle.
CELTIC: Bain; Lustig, Ajer, Simunovic, Izaguirre; Brown, Ntcham; Forrest, McGregor, Hayes, Edouard
SUBS: De Vries, Sinclair, Rogic, Toljan, Weah, Burke, Benkovic
