Celtic vs Hibernian Prediction and Betting Tips 22 February 2026

Celtic aim to build on a hard-fought 3-2 win over Kilmarnock and with Hibernian suiting the title holders, we predict a 3-2 home win. The Hoops are still strong despite missing key players like Carter-Vickers, Engels, Johnston, Jota, and Osmand. Their home form is excellent (2.40 PPG) and they score heavily (2.20 goals per home match) while conceding moderately (1.60 goals per home match). Celtic have not failed to score in any recent league game, making them very dangerous offensively.

Hibernian are solid at home but struggle away (0.75 PPG on the road). The Hibs managed a 2-0 win over St. Mirren and have a decent goal return away (1 goal per away match) but tend to concede (1.75 goals per away match). BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches. You should bear in mind that Hibernian have suffered eight defeats in the previous nine meetings with Celtic at Celtic Park.

H2H heavily favors Celtic (24 wins vs 5 for Hibernian in 41 matches), with over 2.5 goals seen in 59% of clashes, showing attacking tendencies. As Martin O'Neill's men are dominant at home and leading the H2H record, our prediction firmly points toward Home Win, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Celtic Over 1.5.

This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Sunday 22 February 2026 at 15:00.
