Hibs vs Celtic injury news as 8 sidelined and 3 doubts

Celtic are back in action on Sunday when they turn their attention back to league matters. The Bhoys head to Easter Road to face bottom club Hibs as they look to protect their lead at the top and get back to winning ways after another disappointing occasion in Europe.

Martin O'Neill's men gave up a second-half lead to lose to Celta Vigo at home on Thursday night, but they have been more consistent in the league, only failing to win once so far.

Hibs have had no such joy, only winning twice so far, and last weekend's defeat to Falkirk left them rock-bottom. Ahead of Sunday's clash, we have rounded up all the latest injury news surrounding both teams.

Nathan Lowe - Out

Lowe has not yet recovered from a back issue that kept him out last time out.

Callum Wright - Out

Wright is dealing with a groin issue and will remain injured here.

Kanayo Megwa - Out

Megwa is epected to remain out with a hamstring issue.

Jordan Obita - Out

Obita has a calf issue that will keep him out for another week or so.

Rocky Bushuri - Out

Bushiri has an Achilles issue that will keep him out until November.

Joel van den Berg - Out

Van den Berg is still working his way back from an ankle injury that has kept him out over recent weeks.

Auston Trusty - Out

Trusty has been given some time off after the death of his father. He was unavailable on Thursday night as a result, and it's likely he has been given the rest of the week.

Alistair Johnston - Doubt

Johnston is back in training after a hamstring issue that has kept him out since August. It's unclear whether he can play a part here, but he wasn't in the squad on Thursday night.

Cameron Carter-Vickers - Doubt

Carter-Vickers is expected to be back in contention but he goes down as a doubt for now.

Callum Osmand - Doubt

Osmand went off last time out after a recent spell out. O'Neill confirmed: "Yeah, he was cramping. That's totally understandable. Really understandable from his viewpoint. That's fine. He's had very little football. He's been injured basically since the start of the season. He's coming round. He's done really well for us. Each time he was moving in the last three or four minutes, he was just cramping." We will have to see whether Osmand is risked here.

Yang Hyun-jun - Out

Yang is not expected to be cleared to play from his hamstring issue just yet.
