Preview: Celtic vs. Hamilton Academical

Celtic will be hoping to maintain their domestic winning streak when they host Hamilton Academical on Sunday afternoon.

Ronny Deila's side have recorded eight successive victories in league and cup, and although they could only draw 3-3 with Inter Milan on Thursday night, the Norwegian coach will be delighted with his team's form during 2015.

The draw with Inter was partly due to an individual error from goalkeeper Craig Gordon, but the 32-year-old should keep his place at the weekend.

The remainder of the team is likely to be dependent on the recovery of the players who featured against the Italian giants, but striker John Guidetti could feature after scoring a dramatic equaliser in that match.

Hamilton spent the first half of the season contending for a top-three position, but the departure of manager Alex O'Neil has resulted in the team failing to win in six games.

That has seen the club drop to fifth place, and their task at Parkhead has been made tougher by the suspension of defender Jesus Garcia Tena after his red card against Aberdeen.

However, player-boss Martin Canning is able to call upon new signing Nigel Hasselbaink after he finally received international clearance, while defender Michael Devlin could return to the back four.
