The Story in 60 Seconds

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has made a single change to his starting lineup for the Scottish Premiership match against Hibernian on October 25, 2026. Striker Kasper Hogh enters the starting eleven to play through the middle, replacing Haissem Hassan, who drops to the bench. On-loan Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Sam Johnstone retains his starting spot in goal.

Celtic's substitutes bench also receives a boost with Cameron Carter-Vickers and Alistair Johnston returning from injury, alongside available options Jota and Shim Mheuka. A victory against bottom-placed Hibs will restore Celtic's four-point lead at the top of the Premiership table despite difficult weather conditions.
