Ange Postecoglou has made two changes to the Celtic side that beat Hearts last week in the Scottish Cup for today’s match with Hibs.

Matt O’Riley replaces the injured Aaton Mooy while Daizen Maeda replaces Sead Haksabanovic who drops down to the bench which includes teenage forward Ben Summers for the first time in his career.

Mooy’s injury was highlighted at Friday’s media conference by Postecoglou with Tomoki Iwata also dropping out injured.

Celtic have scored 10 times in two wins over Hibs this season but apart from a 4-1 home defeat to Micky Beale’s side the Edinburgh outfit have been in impressive form, harbouring ambitions of competing with Hearts for third place.

Steven McLean will referee at Celtic Park for the third time since the turn of the year, Gavin Duncan is on VAR duty.

CELTIC: Hart; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor: McGregor, O’Riley, Hatate; Jota, Kyogo, Maeda

SUBS: Bain, Haksabanovic, Abada, Turnbull, Kobayashi, Oh, Bernabei, Summers, Ralston
