Celtic vs Hibernian LIVE - Scottish Premiership team news, updates, stats, report & reaction

Celtic drop Scottish Premiership points for the second time this season - and slip to second place - as they are held by Hibernian.

I watched the match, the amount of soft "fouls" given against us was pathetic. Appalling refereeing performance.

What, no dodgy decisions to help get Celtic a win? Scandalous.

Can't believe Scotland are that short of keepers that they have had to name 3 players who have played 1 cup game between them this season - one is 42 yr old Craig Gordon who hasn't played since May! At this rate, Jim Leighton and Alan Rough will be getting their gloves back out of the attic!

Hopefully Antti Niemi gets a call up.

Hopefully Antti Niemi gets a call up.

But he's Finnish

 

[Arthur Wedge]

I don’t think there will ever be a better call into a radio show than that

Craig has been injured and only recently returned to full fitness.
Still a class keeper even if he is getting on a bit,
Hearts now have a very good younger top German league keeper who will be difficult to replace

Younger in comparison to Craig Gordon, he's Finnish. I mean he's 33.

A mere babe as goalie's go and currently top of the league.
Just starting, nae Finnish

Awful from Celtic who’s fans seem as dejected as those of Rangers.

Rangers doing rubbish again. Pitiful goal loss for second one.

Hopefully Aberdeen are doing better.

It just seems that Celtic aren't in a happy place just now. The quality seems to have dipped alarmingly. Maeda was easily the outstanding player in Scotland last season but you can just tell he doesn't want to be here. Five games without scoring already, the same number as the whole of last season.

Celtic will win the league again. No idea why the fans are so unappreciative. With no real opposition, they’ve made a lot of cash out of Europe.
Celtic fans don’t know how lucky they are. Put themselves in the shoes of Rangers or Aberdeen fans.

 

[chico]

I think as a Celtic fan it's not unreasonable to expect the club to do more than the bare minimum in the transfer window.
Their failure to prepare for ucl qualifiers has been going on for 15 years now.
I do think that Celtic will win the league but also wouldn't be overly surprised if we don't.

 

[KenL]

Rangers were good in the second half tonight. Probably worth a point, but c’est la vie.
Sturm keeper had a couple of heroic saves.

Joe Hart saying Schmeichel will learn from this is a good one, guys 38.

 

[BrianM]

Scottish football is at an all time low, Celtic have the league in the bag, but in Europe they need to spend money to compete, Rangers and Aberdeen are toiling terribly, no club is fearing playing a Scottish team in Europe.

Well, they should, especially at Ibrox or Parkhead.
But, the home support currently encourages the opposition. Embarrassing.

Joe Hart saying Schmeichel will learn from this is a good one, guys 38.

He was terrible tonight, shocking for the first goal, and I lost count of the number of times he passed straight to a Braga player.

The decision to disallow Ilhenacho’s goal was utterly mystifying. It might have been a different story if that had stood, but overall it was another lethargic display. Get your money on Hearts for the league.

Do VAR get more angles than TV?

Do VAR get more angles than TV?

No idea, but TV had 3 or 4 angles, none of which showed a handball. What was really weird was that the ref wasn’t asked to review it, it was simply overruled by the VAR team as “factual “ - I thought that only happened with offsides?

So, if there was no handball, what fact had it chopped off?
