Daizen Maeda appears to be ready to return to action.
The forward was injured scoring against Hearts last week in the SPFL and missed out on Saturday’s Scottish Cup win at Tynecastle.
Since returning from the World Cup Finals Maeda has become a key player and starter for Ange Postecoglou with important goals to compliment his incredible energy and industry.
That was halted by a clash with Zander Clark as he netted on Wednesday night but after missing out yesterday it looks like Hibs on Saturday are very much in his sight.

Translation: Thank you for all your messages of concern! It has arrived! Just one word! ! I’m ready to fight
Jota came on as a substitute for Maeda in midweek with Sead Haksabanovic in from the start yesterday at Tynecastle.
With James Forrest out for a couple of weeks Ange Postecoglou found his winger options at Tynecastle reduced from five down to three.
After the game with Hibs on Saturday there is an international break before Celtic face Ross County on April 2 to kick off the run-in to the season.
Great attitude. A Bhoy.
