Martin O’Neill’s side comes into this match in strong domestic form, having won their last three games. They recently produced an emphatic 6-2 win over St Mirren in the cup and followed it up with a solid 3-1 league victory against Falkirk.

Celtic team news

Celtic is still dealing with several injury concerns. Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel remains out with a shoulder issue, meaning Viljami Sinisalo is expected to continue in goal.

In defence, Cameron Carter-Vickers (Achilles) and Julian Araujo (thigh) are both unavailable.

Further up the pitch, Jota and Colby Donovan are sidelined with knee and hamstring injuries, while Callum Osmand and Adam Montgomery are also out and not expected back until late May.

There is some positive news, though, as Alistair Johnston has returned to the squad and could feature from the bench.

In attack, Daizen Maeda is expected to lead the line, supported by James Forrest and Benjamin Nygren.

With no new injury concerns after the Falkirk win, Celtic travel to Easter Road with a relatively settled but thin squad, determined to keep the pressure on at the top.

Celtic predicted lineup

Possible Celtic starting XI: Sinisalo; Ralston, Trusty, Scales, Tierney; McGregor, Engels; Forrest, Nygren, Hyun-Jun; Maeda

When will the match kick off?
