Since Celtic will be playing Red Star Belgrade away in Serbia in their Europa League debut, all of their attention must be on that match at the moment. The atmosphere there is widely regarded as the most difficult away trip in European football. Therefore, the Hoops cannot afford to lose focus on the impending task.
But after that difficult voyage to Europe, there won’t be any time for relaxation. This weekend, Celtic will return to Premiership play when they host Hibernian at Parkhead in a match that is just as significant.
Even though Celtic leads the Rangers by nine points, mistakes are not tolerated. They must maintain up with Hearts, who have had an outstanding start to the season, in addition to not wanting to let the Ibrox club reduce the gap.
The officials for the Celtic vs. Hibernian match have been named by the Scottish FA. The referee will be Don Robertson. Chris Rae and Graeme Stewart will also help him. Graeme Leslie will help Steven McLean in the studio while he is on VAR duty.
The Scottish FA formally announces Celtic vs. Hibernian.
Celtic supporters will undoubtedly have some opinions about such appointments. However, at this moment, it is crucial to concentrate just on the match versus Red Star.
If the Hoops had qualified for the Champions League, Celtic supporters would have undoubtedly been much happy. At a club this level, that must always be the goal.
However, that doesn’t mean they don’t try to maximise their chances in this Europa League campaign. They have a fantastic opportunity to advance far in Europe and test their ability to handle challenging teams over two legs.
