The Story in 60 Seconds

Hibernian defender Marko Ivezic has fully recovered from a severe virus and described the upcoming clash against league leaders Celtic as a 'perfect game' for the squad. The Serbian center-back joined Hibs on Deadline Day from Holstein Kiel but was forced into quarantine and missed several weeks of training. Now fit, he has started two consecutive matches under manager Marink Reedijk.

Despite back-to-back defeats against Dundee United and Falkirk leaving Hibs at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership, Ivezic is confident facing Celtic. Drawing on his past Bundesliga experience against Bayern Munich, the 24-year-old emphasized that facing top teams offers an ideal opportunity to improve and help Hibernian climb out of the relegation zone.
