Celtic v Hibernian: title push meets European chase | OneFootball

Celtic host Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership at Celtic Park on Sunday, 22 February 2026, with the hosts looking to close in on the leaders and the visitors pushing to firm up a European spot.

Celtic are third on 54 points and won 2-1 away in November. Hibernian sit fifth on 42 after a steady run.

The Bhoys arrive on three straight league wins, beating Falkirk, Livingston and Kilmarnock. The Hibees have two wins in their last three league games and also held Rangers to a goalless draw on 1 February.

The Hoops have dominated the ball this season, averaging 68% possession with 87.75% passing accuracy and 12 clean sheets. Benjamin Nygren is joint top scorer in the league with 13, supported by Daizen Maeda on seven and Kieran Tierney with six assists. Hibs operate nearer parity at 49% possession and 80.50% passing accuracy, with Kieron Bowie on eight league goals, Jamie McGrath on seven, Martin Boyle on six and Josh Mulligan supplying five assists.

Routes to goal could hinge on wide supply and aerial threat. The Hoops have delivered 517 open play crosses at 20.70% accuracy and scored eight headers, while Hibs have produced 408 crosses at 20.34% and may again look to feed their front line.

A win would lift the Hoops to 57 points and could tighten the title race. Hibs would move to 45 and strengthen their grip on the top six and European push.
