Celtic prepare to entertain Hibernian at Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Bhoys are clearly on top, having won 84 and lost only 23 of the 138 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Celtic Park was less than a year ago, in February 2007, the The Bhoys carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
