Celtic line-up vs Hibs predicted as Neil Lennon faces centre-back dilemma

Every game is essentially a 'must-win' for Celtic from now until the end of the season if they have any chance of catching Rangers.

Ten in a Row is hanging by a thread after their 1-0 defeat on derby day last weekend, but Neil Lennon will hope to bounce back against Hibs on Monday night.

The squad travelled to Dubai for a warm-weather training camp to hit the reset button after a disappointing first half of the season.

And they'll be hoping the trip will have a positive impact the rest of the way like it has done in previous years.

Despite the defeat at Ibrox, Lennon won't make too many changes as there was nothing wrong with their performance against the Light Blues.

The strike partnership of Odsonne Edouard and Leigh Griffiths has added a new dimension to Celtic's attack, while David Turnbull, the Premiership's December Player of the Month, has been a standout for the Hoops.

There will be one forced change, however, as Nir Bitton is suspended after his red card in Govan.

Celtic will likely start Vasilis Barkas in goals with a back four of Jeremie Frimpong, Kris Ajer, Shane Duffy and Diego Laxalt.

The Hoops should stick to their diamond midfielde consisting of Callum McGregor, Ismaila Soro, Ryan Christie and Turnbull.

And Edouard and Griffiths will lead the line against Jack Ross' men.

How do you think Celtic will line-up against Hibs?
