Brendan Rodgers men can extend their advantage at the league's summit to 10 points with victory
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers was full of praise for his Hibs counterpart Nick Montgomery as the pair go head to head for the first time. I really like what Nick's trying to do. Obviously only in the door, looking to play an offensive game with an offensive philosophy.
There's probably lots of people telling him that's not the way to work or the way to do it but I've been through that many years ago in my early stages of management. I really like that they're trying to build the game from behind, work their way through the lines with speed, with quality and looking to play an attacking game. It's the traditions of Hibs, they've always been a club to play good football and he's looking to implement his ideas.
They've had some really good performances so it'll be a tough game for us.They want to play but there's no right or wrong system or style, it's about what the manager believes in and works on every day, studied throughout his career. You only really know what your philosophy is when you're stood on the touchline under pressure, when the light's shining, the curtains go back and the crowd are on top of you. Nick's obviously very clear in how he wants to work which is great, you need that inherent belief.
