Hibernian vs Celtic postponement latest after Met Office issue amber weather warning update

Hibernian play host to Celtic at Easter Road this weekend in a Premiership clash that will be heavily affected by adverse weather conditions.

Celtic are in a tough spot right now despite still sitting top of the Premiership with eight wins from nine games.

Martin O'Neill's side have won each of their last two league matches, but have lost their other five previous games across all competitions.

They travel to Hibernian on Sunday with a strong chance of taking all three points, as the Edinburgh-based side linger at the foot of the table.

Recently appointed boss Marink Reedijk has lost both of his first two games in charge, with the club winless in their last six Premiership outings.

Their Easter Road clash is set to be affected by some serious weather conditions, with a warning out that fans heading to the game must be aware of.

Celtic's trip to Hibernian impacted by UK weather warnings

Storm Boelo will be the second named storm to hit the UK this weekend, bringing strong winds and heavy rain to Scotland and thus affecting Hibs and Celtic supporters.

The Met Office have issued both amber and yellow weather warnings for the whole country, with the disruption set to begin at 9pm on Saturday and last for a whole 24 hours until Sunday evening.

Celtic's trip to Hibs is set for a midday kick-off on Sunday, so fans of both clubs must consider potential disruption to their travel plans and the possibility of the game being postponed.

Boelo is set to disrupt large parts of northern UK, with longer journey times being highly likely due to potential closed roads and bridges, while enforced rail cancellations may also come into play.

Damage to buildings from flying debris due to the wind is also something to be aware of, while affected areas may suffer from widespread power cuts.

The Met Office is advising those across Scotland to stay indoors as much as possible, but for fans aiming to get to Easter Road, they should drive slowly to minimise the impact of wind gusts.

Celtic's predicted XI vs Hibernian as O'Neill makes

O'Neill has been sticking by Viljami Sinisalo between the sticks for Premiership games, and should continue to do so this weekend, provided the match goes ahead.

Colby Donovan and Liam Scales are likely to keep their places in the backline, while Auston Trusty returns and Landon Emenalo could make his first start at left-back since joining from Chelsea.

An unchanged midfield of Callum McGregor, Mika Baur and Benjamin Nygren is also looking probable on Sunday.

Jota may be given his first start since April 2025, with in-form Callum Osmand on the other wing and Camilo Duran continuing up front.
