HIBERNIAN - CELTIC PREDICTIONS

Scottish Cup Final day sees Hibernian take on Celtic . The Glasgow giants seek a domestic double and want to secure the 36^th FA Cup in the process. Hibs remarkably have not won the trophy in 111 years! They may not know what to do should they somehow topple Celtic.

Hibernian go into the game in good form but it must be said it was in the relegation group. They topped that section with an overall record of 13 wins, 12 draws and 13 defeats. They are in decent form though with three wins and three draws from the last six games with 12 goals scored and 9 conceded (2 clean sheets in that time) Hibs will be without skipper James McPake and he will be missed at the centre of defence. Jordan Forster steps into the skippers shoes and Hibs have some good news in the return of Tim Clancy

Celtic go into the match as very short price favourites and should win the match. Celtic won the league by a huge margin of 16 points and ended with a record of 24 wins, 7 draws and 7 defeats. It wasn’t a complete stroll for Celtic who surprisingly slipped up on a few occasions and shows the lack of pure quality in the side. The Celtic of years ago had depth and strength in all departments. This season they look a bit inferior to the sides of years gone by.  Celtic have won 5, drawn 3 and lost 1 of the last 9. With 26 goals scored and 12 conceded. A few problems team wise for The Hoops with Adam Matthews out for sure. Midfielders Victor Wanyama and Beram Kayal are suspended, while defender Charlie Mulgrew  and winger James Forrest will be assessed on the day.

HIBERNIAN - CELTIC: BETTING TIPS

Celtic must be backed here in another one sided Scotland match. Both sides topped their respective groups after the split of the league for Championship and relegation but there is a huge gap in class. Celtic do have a few worries but Hibs too have lost their most influential player. The odds are too short on a straight forward 1x2 so we look to the handicaps. We take a gamble here and go with Celtic -2 (2.75 Bet365) The Hoops must win by 3 clear goals and although it seems a big ask they do have the ability to smash Hibs out of sight. Celtic have won 4 drawn 2 and lost 1 of the last 7 matches head to head with with 16 goals scored and just 4 conceded.
