Sports Mole previews Saturday's Scottish Championship meeting between Hamilton Academical and Celtic.

At this stage of the season, many would have expected Celtic to be sitting comfortably at the top of the Scottish Premiership table.

However, the title race isn't going to be as simple as some Celtic fans might have hoped, with Ronny Deila's side currently sitting four points behind leaders Aberdeen with two games in hand.

If the pressure to deliver a title wasn't enough, Deila has also been forced to answer questions about Virgil van Dijk and Kris Commons, who have both been linked with moves away from the club in recent weeks.

The Norwegian has reiterated his desire to keep both players, and they are expected to start against Hamilton on Saturday after a week off due to the postponed fixture with St Johnstone.

Hamilton are still reeling from the departure of new Norwich City manager Alex Neil, and a 3-2 defeat to Dundee United on Monday suggests that he will be difficult to replace.

Neil could be replaced with a high-profile name, with former AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso rumoured to be interested in making the switch to Scotland.

However, caretaker boss Martin Canning is expected to be in charge again when Celtic visit, and he could make just one change as Louis Longridge prepares to replace Stephen Hendrie, who is struggling with injury, in a tactical reshuffle.

Hamilton:

Recent form: WWLWWL

Possible starting lineup: McGovern, Gillespie, Tena, Devlin, Imrie, Routledge, Longridge, MacKinnon, Crawford, Andreu, Antoine-Curier

Celtic:

Form in Scottish Premiership: WWWLDW
Form in all competitions: WLWLDW

Possible starting lineup: Gordon, Matthews, Ambrose, Van Dijk, Izaguirre, Brown, Bitton, Johansen, Commons, Guidetti, Scepovic

Sports Mole says: 0-2
