The Albanian's only other start was in the League Cup win over Alloa, when he scored. Thelo Aasgaard, Oliver Antman, and Bojan Miovski all come in from the start as well. Mohamed Diomande, Djeidi Gassama and Danilo drop to the bench and Youssef Chermiti is not in the squad. HT: Hibernian 0-2 Celtic More shots and more touches in the opposition box for Hibs. Nothing to show for it though. The Hibs keeper at fault with the two goals in my opinion. Let's hope Hibs to make a comeback in the second half (that was difficult for a Jambo to say). David You really do have to question David Gray, I suspect Hibs punched way above their weight last season. Hibs have spent a lot of money in the transfer market and have done good individual players but something is just not right, lack of experience across all coaching areas. Jay Celtic are on their way to three points at Easter Road after goals from Daizen Maeda and Arne Engels. Hibs were the livelier side in the first half hour, with Martin Boyle guilty of missing a sitter for the second game running. Then it all went very wrong very quickly for the hosts, with 33 seconds between the goals. The first came from a goalkeeper's pass, with Reo Hatate more switched on than Miguel Chaiwa. Hibs were still reeling from that lapse when Engels nodded in. Hibernian 0-2 Celtic Celtic take their first corner of the game. Liam Scales is penalised for a bit of grappling with Rocky Bushiri though. Hibernian 0-2 Celtic Three minutes of stoppage time to go before the interval. Hibernian 0-2 Celtic Scott Allan Former Celtic & Hibs midfielder on BBC Sportsound The Celtic players look like they are really enjoying this now after an uncomfortable start. Hibernian 0-2 Celtic Celtic are flowing now as a back-heel from Daizen Maeda sets up a shooting chance for Marcelo Saracchi. The left-back cuts across the first-time effort and it just curls away from the target, clattering against the post. Hibernian 0-2 Celtic Celtic hadn't managed a shot on target at the time this simple finish left Daizen Maeda's boot. Not even a minute later, they were two goals ahead. Hibernian 0-2 Celtic Quick change for Jack Iredale. Hibs fans are in no mood to see the funny side. Hibernian 0-2 Celtic Someone needs to tell Jack Iredale he has the wrong top on. .. The Hibs sub has taken the shirt of team-mate Kanayo Megwa. Don't think I've seen that before. Hibernian 0-2 Celtic Nicky Cadden has picked up a knock and can't continue. Jack Iredale is the Hibs replacement. Hibernian 0-2 Celtic Miguel Chaiwa's day gets a bit worse after his role in gifting Celtic the opener. Now he's on a yellow after catching Colby Donovan with a late tackle. Hibernian 0-2 Celtic Kheredine Idessane BBC Scotland at Easter Road The Martin O'Neill factor is working again. As self-inflicted as the first goal was from a Hibs point of view, it all comes from Reo Hatate, re-energised under the interim manager, pressing high on the defence. The new energy flowing through the side under the veteran former boss also led to a quickfire second. The away fans are chanting his name and also singing 'sack the board' in the same sentence. Erm, did the board not appoint O'Neill? Hibernian 0-2 Celtic Just 33 seconds between those goals. .. That has taken the wind right out of the home fans' sails after their team's bright start. Hibernian 0-2 Celtic Scott Allan Former Celtic & Hibs midfielder on BBC Sportsound From a Hibs point of view, it's really disappointing. You go a goal down, you have to regroup. You have to ride it for a wee bit, Celtic had their tails up. Arne Engels A quick one-two from Celtic and Hibs are on the canvas seeing stars. Yang Hyun-Jun breaks down the left and his cross is met by a firm header from Arne Engels. The Belgian takes a kick to the head in the process and Jamie Mc Grath is booked for the desperate challenge. Hibernian 0-2 Celtic Kheredine Idessane BBC Scotland at Easter Road Celtic cannot believe their luck. For the second game in a row, a poor pass from a goalkeeper lets Reo Hatate steal possession, then roll the ball to his right for Daizen Maeda to have a tap in. Totally self-inflicted. Home boss David Gray will be raging. Daizen Maeda Hibs shoot themselves in the foot and Celtic lead. Goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger rolls a terrible pass out to Miguel Chaiwa, who is bounced off the ball by Reo Hatate. He then squares for Daizen Maeda to knock home. Hibernian 0-0 Celtic Kheredine Idessane BBC Scotland at Easter Road Celtic manager Martin O'Neill was singing young Colby Donovan's praises for his efforts against Feyenoord in the Europa League win through the week. I suspect he's not nearly as happy with his right-back this afternoon so far. He's made a couple of early mistakes and is already on a booking. At this rate, I'll wager he doesn't last the 90.

Since the start of 2017-18, Celtic have won just 27% of their league visits to Hibernian (4/15), their lowest away win rate against any opponent in the Scottish Premiership in this period. Hibernian have only lost one of their last 18 home league games (W11 D6), going down 0-1 to Rangers in October. Celtic have won each of their last three league games, all without conceding. The Hoops last won more in a row in December 2024 (7), and last did so while keeping a clean sheet each time in their opening six league matches of last season. No side has scored more 90th-minute (or later) winners in the Scottish Premiership this season than Celtic (3, level with Hearts), including Callum Mc Gregor last time out at St. Mirren. The last club to score more in a single campaign in the competition were Rangers in 2016-17 (5). Against Motherwell last time out, Hibernian had just two shots, their lowest in a Scottish Premiership match since February 2022 against Celtic (also 2), and the joint-fewest any side has managed in a single match in the competition in 2025-26 (Dundee also 2 v Hibernian in August). Celtic’s Callum Mc Gregor has been involved in 76 open play sequences ending in a shot in the Scottish Premiership this season – at least 13 more than any other player. Hibernian have scored five goals following high turnovers in the Scottish Premiership this season – more than any other side – despite the fact that only two teams have had fewer shots following high turnovers than Hibs (10) in the division this term (Aberdeen 8, Dundee 7).
