Hibs defender Warren O’Hora insists the squad are in good spirits ahead of the trip to Parkhead this weekend.
Hibs go into this one off the back of an important victory away at Motherwell, moving off the bottom of the table and up to 11th.
Celtic currently lead the way at the top of the William Hill Premiership, having won 13 of their 14 league matches – only dropping points in a 2-2 draw with Aberdeen back in October.
Despite that impressive run of form, O’Hora is confident the Hibees can get something from the game.
Speaking to the media ahead of game, O’Hora said: “The atmosphere has been really good in the last week, the win against Motherwell helped that.
“We still have a lot of work to be done, we know that, we’re not getting ahead of ourselves in that aspect.
“Psychologically, it has been a happier place this week. We got four points last week, it could’ve been more – but we will take that and move on.
“It was a good performance against Motherwell and we did to build on that. There have been previous games this season, where we haven’t got what we deserved – but that changed, and it all came together against Motherwell.
“We were ruthless in both boxes, we scored three great goals and we kept a clean sheet; we need to build on that.
“We still have a lot of work to do to get where we need to be. We know it is a tough test tomorrow, there is no doubt about it – but we will do everything we can to go and get something out of the game.
“We have to believe in ourselves and have a right go at them, that has been the message from the Manager and the staff and that is what we are going to do.
“It is a very tough task, but one I know that we are certainly capable of.”
