Football Bet of the Day: Celtic to concede again

Ange Postecoglou's Celtic are in fine form but they have been vulnerable at the back

Celtic can beat Hibs today, but Tobias Gourlay's not sure they'll bag a clean sheet to go with the three points

  • Celtic are on a winning streak of 11

  • But the Bhoys have conceded in 9/11

  • Hibs have scored in 3/3 hosting top-4 sides


Hibernian v Celtic
Wednesday 20:00 (Live on Sky Sports Football)

In Turkey yesterday, Umraniyespor beat Ankaragucu 2-1 to land our goals bet.

We're back in Scotland today to catch the Premiership leaders as they travel to the capital to take on Hibs.

Seventh-placed Hibs have acquitted themselves well at home to Scotland's top sides so far: they've drawn 1-1 with Hearts, drawn 2-2 with Rangers and beaten Aberdeen 3-1.

Celtic are in better form than any of those previous visitors - and beat Hibs 6-1 in the reverse fixture earlier this term - so we'd expect them to beat the hosts, but we like Hibs' strong scoring record in these matches.

Celtic have won 11 league games in a row, but Ange Postecoglou's men have conceded at least one goal in nine of those matches. So backing Celtic/Yes in the Match Odds and Both Teams To Score market has been the right thing to do in 9/11 - and a price close to 3.02/1 for the same thing to happen today is too good to ignore.
