Hibernian host Celtic at Easter Road this weekend in a fixture carrying unusual weight. The match is live on Sky Sports with Celtic trailing their city rivals Hearts by three points in the Scottish Premiership title race. Neither Edinburgh club has won a top-flight title since Hearts' triumph in 1960, making this weekend's outcome significant for both clubs.

Hibs head coach David Gray finds himself in a delicate position. A win would boost their slim chances of a fourth-place finish and guaranteed European football, but it would simultaneously aid Hearts' title bid. Gray's focus remains on the practical: his team sits six points behind Motherwell with four games remaining. "We will be approaching this game like we do every other one," he told Sky Sports News. "We will try to do everything we possibly can to win this game."

Some Hibs fans are openly conflicted. "If we lost the game and it meant Hearts didn't win the league, so be it," one supporter admitted. Celtic manager Martin O'Neill dismissed any notion of his team not trying their hardest, stating it "wouldn't enter their heads" to do anything less than pursue victory. A Celtic win would level them with Hearts on points before their rivals host Rangers the following day.
