Is Hibs vs Celtic on TV? Live stream, channel and team news for Easter Road fixture
Celtic will aim to continue their strong start to the season when they face Hibernian (Hibs) at Easter Road on Sunday, August 11. After an impressive opening day victory against Kilmarnock, the Hoops are keen to maintain their momentum. However, Easter Road has not been a particularly successful venue for Celtic’s manager, Brendan Rodgers, who only secured his first win there earlier this year. Despite this, Celtic will go into the match with confidence, especially given their nearly full-strength squad and the convincing nature of their last win.
On the other hand, Hibs had a disappointing start to their season, suffering a 3-0 defeat to St Mirren under the new interim manager, David Gray. However, they have since bolstered their squad with the signings of Kieron Bowie, Nicky Cadden, and Junior Hoilett. Despite these additions, Hibs are expected to face a tough challenge against the reigning champions.
The match is set to take place at 12:30 pm, and fans can watch it live on Sky Sports Football and Sky Sports Main Event, with coverage beginning at 11:30 am. Highlights will also be available later in the day on BBC Scotland’s Sportscene at 7:15 pm.
In terms of team news, Hibs will be without Elie Youan, who remains sidelined due to injury. The four new signings—Bowie, Cadden, Hoilett, and Mykola Kukharevych—are in contention to feature, though they are all at different stages of their fitness. For Celtic, Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Daizen Maeda is fit and available for selection.
The match will be officiated by Nick Walsh, with Graeme Stewart and John McCrossan assisting. Alan Muir will lead the VAR team, supported by Alan Mulvanny.
