A full crowd will be in attendance at the game despite the recent surge in COVID cases, and both managers know how important a victory would be for each of their teams.

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has grown into the role at Celtic Park and silverware would rubber-stamp his authority at the club.

Hibernian caretaker manager David Gray will lead the team into the duel following the sacking of Jack Ross, who masterminded the semi-final victory over Rangers.

Hibs sit seventh in the table after picking up a long overdue win at the weekend, while Celtic are enjoying a run of six consecutive Scottish Premiership victories.

Our prediction: Hibernian v Celtic

Hibs' squad appears to have been galvanised since the dismissal of Ross, but the odds remain stacked in Celtic's favour.

On top of their domestic form, the Bhoys have mounted stronger challenges against tricky European opposition Bayer Leverkusen and Real Betis lately.

They're heading in the right direction under Postecoglou. Tangible silverware in the bank would boost his reputation and put Celtic on course for more success to come.

Our prediction: Hibernian 0-2 Celtic (7/1 at bet365)
