Celtic didn’t just lose at Easter Road today, they lost badly.
The bhoys were coming off a Thursday night game but the absolute abject failure from back to front was horrifying to watch if you were a Celtic fan.
For anyone who wants to beat the drums about overreaction only needs to look below to see this is NOT an isolated incident this season.
- Celtic have only won 3 out of 9 SPFL Away games this season (W3, D3, L3)
- Gathering only 12 points out of 27.
- Hibs had only won 1 game out of 8 before today’s game.
Injuries have made it difficult for Celtic but the performance levels come and go.
It’s clear the Ntcham/Brown partnership is not worth much. We struggled at the start of the season with it and we again struggled today.
Having McGregor in the middle of the pitch with a Christie or Rogic or both in front of him, it makes for more dynamic, entertaining and effective play.
We hope to see Ryan back soon and Rogic is hopefully going to come back into the fold after today’s debacle.
It didn’t work today and these fans agree, as do many others.
Not good enough. Back to the Celtic team that started the season, and as long as that’s the level of performance we’re capable of the league title is up for grabs. We can’t make a habit of days like today again. If true, it’s a good job Ryan Christie isn’t out long term.

Pish, absolutely pish. One team up for it. 3,4,3 tactic ffs. Exposed on the first minute. Izzy brutal, Edouard brutal and no fight. Lenny gets the best out of average players. No complaints. Hibs deserved their win.

Appalling performance from the team, away support as always excellent…. Need injuries cleared up & comeback focused & ready to go again.

Hibs will never get an easier game this season than today. Celtic turned up but didn't bother competing. Well done Hibs and Lennon he never lays down to any of the top four. Rodgers has to address these vulnerabilities with a clear out. ???⚽️??

French Eddie may have potential but he isn’t showing anything, his touch is awful. Sinclair is an empty shirt and yet again we go back to Brown & Ntcham who were dire at the start of the season and guess what???? …we got pumped again.
