凯尔特人将警惕进一步的失误
凯尔特人在苏格兰超级联赛中面临着来自流浪者队的越来越大的压力，但他们应该能够在周三轻松战胜Hibs队，从而缓解一些压力。

但Hibs的状态不足以让凯尔特人再次受到尼克·蒙哥马利的惊吓；在过去的六场英超比赛中，他们的球队连败四场，战平两场。在劳伦斯·尚克兰之后’；在12月的德比战中，希伯斯队在补时阶段的努力夺走了胜利。希伯斯队需要在第91分钟扳平比分，才能在主场2-2战平马瑟韦尔队，随后在复活节路以3-0输给流浪者队和圣米伦队。
贝尔纳多可以在复活节路装袋子
他们在周六对阵Buddies的比赛中丢球的性质令人担忧，因为每次客队将球送入禁区时，Hibs的防守似乎都会失误。其中两个进球是定位球或第二阶段比赛中的头球，其中一个是眼尖的裁判发现乔·纽厄尔犯规后的点球。
尽管周六在阿伯丁的比赛中失分，但凯尔特人有能力让Hibs在这里付出代价。葡萄牙中场保罗·贝尔纳多看起来很有威胁，因为他往往会在对方禁区内占据好位置。
在1-1战平皮托德里的比赛中，他击中了门框，在过去六场为胡普队出战的比赛中有三场进球。

- Celtic’s Paulo Bernardo has scored three goals in his last six appearances and hit the crossbar on Saturday
Celtic will be wary of further slip-up
Celtic are coming under increasing pressure from Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership, but should be able to alleviate some of that with a comfortable win against Hibs on Wednesday.
After cutting the gap to three points at the weekend, Rangers could be level by the time Brendan Rodgers’ side kick off at Easter Road. Celtic’s recent record at the Edinburgh venue, where the Hoops have prevailed only once in their last four visits, means Rodgers’ troops will be wary of a slip-up that could see them lose what little advantage they have left.
But Hibs are not in the kind of form to give Celtic another scare with Nick Montgomery’s men on a run of four defeats and two draws from their last six Premiership games. After Lawrence Shankland’s stoppage-time effort took the derby spoils in December, Hibs needed a 91st minute leveller to snatch a 2-2 home draw with Motherwell, before suffering subsequent 3-0 defeats to Rangers and St Mirren at Easter Road.
Bernardo can bag at Easter Road
The nature of the goals they conceded against the Buddies on Saturday was alarming as the Hibs defence appeared to go missing every time the visitors put the ball into their box. Two of the goals were headers from set pieces or second phase play following one and the other a penalty after the eagle-eyed ref spotted a foul by Joe Newell.
Despite dropping points at Aberdeen on Saturday, Celtic have the quality to make Hibs pay here. Portuguese midfielder Paulo Bernardo looks a threat as he tends to get into good positions in the opposition box.
He hit the woodwork in the 1-1 draw at Pittodrie and has scored in three of his last six games for the Hoops.
