Craig Gordon wary of Hibernian threat to Celtic’s unbeaten run

Craig Gordon thinks Hibernian could break into the top three of the Scottish Premiership this season and believes they could pose a threat to Celtic’s unbeaten domestic run.

Neil Lennon guided the Edinburgh outfit back into the division last season and they are currently fourth in the table, one point behind Rangers in third.

Gordon’s Celtic side, who are yet to lose in the league this season, travel to Easter Road on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Football, knowing they face a tough outing.
Hibs came close to ending Celtic’s long unbeaten domestic run when the two teams met earlier in the season but Callum McGregor’s 80th-minute equaliser saved a point for the Hoops, and Gordon expects another tight match this weekend.

„They could get close (to the top three),“ he said. „They are a good team and when they play well they’re a match for any team in this league.

„If they can find that consistency then they have every chance of getting to the top end of the league.“
He added: „They’re a good team and have some good players who can change games. They have a lot of guys who can score goals and have threats in good areas so we know we will have to go there and play really well to keep our run going.

„It’s a difficult place to go and on the back of a difficult European game we want to get back to winning ways, so it’s a difficult one for us but one we’re looking forward to, as I’m sure Hibs are as well.“

Celtic go into the game on the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Anderlecht on Tuesday – which nevertheless saw them qualify for the Europa League – and Gordon has welcomed the chance to focus on domestic matters ahead of the winter break.
He said: „We have seven games between now and the next break. We have to try and keep our run going.

„It’s a busy month but we have a big squad and will need everybody at some point.

„It’s a good time to get everybody on the pitch and try to press home our advantage and get a good lead in the league.“Euro Soccer Bonus
