Celtic hope Kris Commons can overcome an ankle knock while Victor Wanyama is free to play as he awaits the outcome of an appeal against a red card.
However, Scott Brown, Adam Matthews and James Forrest remain on the sidelines.
The hosts could secure the Scottish Premier League title if they win and Motherwell lose.
Hibernian, who are chasing a top-six place, welcome back defenders Paul Hanlon and Alan Maybury from injury and suspension, respectively.
Celtic defender Charlie Mulgrew: "At a club like Celtic, there is always pressure and everybody is fighting to get into the team every week.
"Our focus will be on trying to win on Saturday. It's been a successful campaign for us so far.
"We've had a good run in the Champions League and we're clear at the top of the SPL by quite a few points.
"There is still a lot to be done before we win the league. We'll just need to wait and see what happens on Saturday.
"It will be a very hard game. Like any team that comes to Celtic Park, they [Hibs] are very motivated.
"It's one of the big games of the season for them and we will need to match that."
Hibernian midfielder Kevin Thomson: "I was fortunate enough to have a good record against Celtic when I was at Rangers although I had a couple of disappointing results when I was at Hibs the first time.
"It is a difficult place to go for any team. We are under no illusion, it is going to be a difficult game.
"The boys need to enjoy it first and foremost, and not get caught up in the atmosphere.
"But we need to go there believing. What's the point of going there thinking you can't get anything out of it? That's not the way I play football.
"I will be telling the boys that we fancy our chances and try to get them up for it. It is a chance for us to go there and spoil the party."


Let the Party begin..... :scarf: :scarf:

1-0 H.T. :scarf:

Good first half, kept the ball well and created a decent goal, Great finish from Commons, Stokes Ledley & Commons have been superb in the first half, But we need more goals. So hopefully they will flow in the second Half.

Decent half of football without getting out of 2nd gear, but plenty to do to complete the job as Hibs will come out for the 2nd half needing to do something to give them a chance of a top 6 finish.

Really good to see Commons back but there still needs to be a bit more cohesion the get the job done. Come on the buddies as well. :thumb up:

Terrific 2nd half performance and a well deserved win.

Don't ask about the officiating again, clearly handball from Lustig who played well I think on the whole.

Shame the buddies couldn't hold on, but we did our bit and hopefully will complete the job next time out.

Well done Celtic. :clap: :ynwa: :scarf: :thumb up:

Yeah good performance all round, thought Ledley was man of the match. Commons excellent, took his goals well, And yep the officials got the Lustig one all wrong.... :D

Well done Celtic, Another big performance needed next week at Hampden.

A was pleased with that performance today against a team who came to play but who seem to rely on Griffins too much , thought Hooper & Stokes' partnership was what it used to be :clap:

Ledley was very good as was Commons , shouldve won by more but hey ho but next week will be a harder test imo

No injuries ...... good to see Rogic get some game time looks a confident player with the look of a midfielder why not give Watt 30 minutes ?

Lustig was handed his goal on a plate :D .... like the way he is always lookin to get in opponents box

A workmanlike , composed performance
