Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic return to Paradise this afternoon for the first time since sealing four in a row. The Irishman has spoken about setting targets before the end of the campaign in the build up to the Scottish Cup Final.

This afternoon, Celtic face Europe-chasing Hibernian in the penultimate game at Celtic Park before the end of the season. Thanks to One Football, we have some fascinating match facts ahead of the game.

Celtic have won six of their last seven meetings with Hibernian in all competitions, although the exception was the last league match between the two, a 2-1 Hibs win in February. Not since 1950-51 have the Hoops lost successive league meetings with Hibernian within a single season.

Hibernian are winless in their last 21 away games at Celtic in all competitions (D4 L17) since a 2-1 victory in January 2010. They have lost their last seven successive trips by an aggregate score of 23-4.

Celtic have scored 58 goals in their 17 home league games this season (3.4 per game), last scoring more in 2003-04 under Martin O’Neill (62).

Since their last league visit to Celtic in early December, Hibernian have lost just one of their 19 league games (W13 D5), picking up more points in the Scottish Premiership than any side since that match (44).

Adam Idah has scored three goals in Celtic’s last two league games, as many as his previous 20 Scottish Premiership appearances combined beforehand. He is looking to score in three successive matches in the competition for the second time, after doing so in February.
