Celtic host Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday, so we simulated the clash to get predict the final score.
Furuhashi was found running in behind, and the striker beat his marker for pace to go through on goal. The pressure continued from Celtic early in the second half, with plenty of chances falling their way. Following a tough defeat in the Champions League, any sort of victory against third place could prove valuable for Celtic. A long ball forward was brought down by Sead Haksabanovic just outside the box, and the midfielder played a lovely through ball for Kyogo Furuhashi to chase. Hibs almost took the lead at Celtic Park in the opening five minutes when Thody Elie Youn raced through on goal, but his effort was smothered by Joe Hart. We used FIFA 23 to try and predict the score, and this is what happened! Lee Johnson's side sits third in the table, with Celtic unbeaten against Hibs in their last 15 meetings. So, can Celtic put their Champions League misery behind them and claim three points on Saturday? The Hoops could still qualify for the Europa League, but it would require taking at least a point from Real Madrid, beating Shakhtar Donetsk, and hoping the Ukrainian side loses against Leipzig. A period of dominance saw Hibs start to get a grip of the game, but Celtic then doubled their lead to open up a gap between the two sides. To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 23 and updated the Celtic squad with the latest injuries and suspensions.

Celtic take on Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership today, hoping to pick up three points and put serious pressure on second-placed Rangers.
There is a clamouring to see alternative options at left wing and centre-forward right, but I can envision the manager sticking with Daizen Maeda and Kyogo Furuhashi, allowing Giorgos Giakoumakis to make his mark from the bench again, with a starting berth given to him in the upcoming visit to Fir Park. My theory on todayโs match is that we wonโt see too many changes to the line-up today, with the mid-week League Cup clash looking like the optimal time to rotate a few players out of the team. In the midst of a very busy schedule, will we see significant changes to the line-up today?

It was a difficult day for us and it shows me there's a lot to do at this club in terms of changing the mentality. We put a team out and worked to press and get up to the ball, and for whatever reason there was too much fear. We have to be better than that, and we have to be very brave coming to a place like this. Credit to him, he hasn't played a lot in this period but he's constantly training and preparing himself in the right manner and got his rewards today."
