Calderwood still aiming for top six
Hibernian manager Colin Calderwood has challenged his players to keep their faint top-six ambitions alive by springing a surprise at Celtic Park.
The Easter Road side have rallied from being involved in the relegation battle a matter of weeks ago to still hold top-half hopes in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
Despite the concession of a late goal in Sunday's 2-2 derby meeting with Hearts, Hibs are unbeaten in seven matches ahead of the trip to Neil Lennon's title-chasing team.
Calderwood's ninth-placed outfit are seven points behind Motherwell in sixth spot, meaning they really need to win their last three games before the league splits to stand any chance of a top-six finish.
The former Scotland defender, unable to field on-loan Celtic defender Richie Towell against his parent club, said: "It's an exciting game, can we take something out of it? We've got to go with that intention. Obviously, we need something if you're looking beyond it.
"That's the end point of these next three games (top six). It will obviously have an impact on Wednesday's game. We've got to take something to have any chance otherwise that will curtail it. It's a terrific game and a terrific week we've got, in terms of Hearts, Celtic and Aberdeen. It's a great examination of us."
