Hibs’ Oli Shaw confident about Celtic game

Hibernian’s Oli Shaw believes that Celtic will not be looking forward to the prospect of playing his side this weekend.

Speaking to the Edinburgh News, Shaw explained why the game will not be an easy ride for Brendan Rodgers’ men who are looking to close the gap at the top.

I’m sure not too many will be keen to play us at the moment, we’re full of confidence, playing a good style and scoring goals.

I’m sure everyone we come up against will be a bit wary of us – and so they should be. We did very well before the international break and with all the boys back together again we’ll be raring to go.

With league leaders Hearts at home to Aberdeen on Saturday, a positive result against Hibs could go a long way in Celtic’s bid to get back to the top of the table.

After a slow start to the season, the Hoops head into the game in good form and will be feeling confident about their chances.

Celtic have won three of their last four across all competitions, including a 6-0 drubbing of St Johnstone prior to the international break.

However, Neil Lennon’s side have started the season well and will not make it easy for Celtic. They are currently second in the league, one point ahead of the Hoops going into the game.
