Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers says it is 'pretty unique' that his team has had over a week to prepare for their Scottish Cup tie against Hibernian on Sunday.
The Easter Road side will bring 7,000 supporters to Glasgow's east end in what is set to be a blockbuster of a quarter-final showdown.
The last time the teams met, David Gray's men walked away 2-1 winners thanks to a Josh Campbell brace.
Celtic were just off the back of an arduous Champions League tie with Bayern Munich that day, although this time around, they have had a full seven days to prepare.

Rodgers finds such a lengthy period between games useful: "It's pretty unique, really," he said.
"You can't begin to imagine what that [a week of preparation] gives you in terms of the opportunity to prepare, to recover, mentally, physically, and then, like I say, we're playing at home, which we love to play at home.
"We'll have 50,000-odd supporters that will be with us in the game, and we're very hungry to get to Hampden."
Rodgers has an imperious Scottish Cup record, having won every game he's managed in the competition.
The 52-year-old will be keen to maintain his streak on Sunday as Celtic look to hone in on what would be a ninth domestic treble.
Hibs' sizeable away allocation will only add to the atmosphere, in the eyes of the Parkhead boss: "I just think it will be fantastic," he said.
"I think having a number of away supporters is great. Hibs are on a very good run, so the supporters will be buoyed by that as well.
"They’ll come and support the team and that will activate our supporters as well, so it should be a great atmosphere."
