Celtic hoping to land blow in race for Scottish Premiership title
by Greg Leedham

Celtic have a chance to extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership when they take on Hibernian in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.


The Hoops currently hold a three-point advantage of Inverness, who do not play until Sunday when they host Partick Thistle.


Gaining a six-point lead would be a welcome boost for manager Neil Lennon, whose side take on Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
