We said: Hibernian 0-3 Celtic
Celtic are on a phenomenal run of results that stretches across from last campaign, and we expect them to be too strong for the hosts here with a comfortable 3-0 win. Despite having plenty of opportunities in their opening match, Hibernian were unable to hit the target, and they are unlikely to have as many chances in this one, leading us to believe the visitors will secure a clean sheet.
