Hartley in for Celtic

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan drafted in Paul Hartley for the crunch Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Hibernian at Easter Road.

Hartley replaced young Spaniard Marc Crosas in the Hoops’ midfield as the champions looked for the win that would take them back above Rangers at the top of the SPL.

Hibs has beaten Celtic 2-0 earlier in the season and were looking for their first Easter Road double over the Glasgow side since 1981/82.

Hibs’ manager Mixu Paatelainen, however, was without suspended stopper Chris Hogg, his place taken by Steven Thicot.
