Celtic prepare to entertain Hibernian at Celtic Park on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Bhoys are clearly on top, having won 80 and lost only 22 of the 132 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Celtic Park was less than a year ago, in December 2003, with Celtic annihilating their visitors 6-0 in a Scottish Premier match.
