Celtic v Hibs clash in doubt after players voice concerns about playing game

A general view of Celtic Park ahead of the Scottish Premiership clash between Celtic and HIbs

Celtic's Scottish Premiership clash with Hibs remains in doubt after it emerged some Easter Road players “have reservations” about taking part in the game.

The hosts are without 13 first-team players and three staff members who have been ordered to self-isolate following the club’s return from a controversial mid-season trip to Dubai which led to defender Christopher Jullien returning a positive test for Covid-19.

Manager Neil Lennon and assistant John Kennedy are among those who will miss tonight’s match at Celtic Park.

It is understood that a request made by Hibs for the Celtic players to be tested again has been knocked back by both the club and the SPFL.
