00:00:31Billy MacNeil holding the cup for Celtic.
00:00:35It is sensational!
00:00:44Celtic are the champions!
00:01:23They love the votes, these are the champions!
00:01:31And he's scored! Another goal from Dyson!
00:01:45So Dyson Maeda turned on the style in the first fixture of the post-split season
00:01:52with that impressive performance at home against Falkirk
00:01:56Now it's Martin O'Neill and the boys turn to go away from home to Easter Road
00:02:01Four league games left of this incredible season
00:02:05Four essential cup finals before the actual cup final
00:02:09But these boys will be absolutely focused to do the job this afternoon
00:02:13and put the pressure on the others who have their own designs for the title
00:02:18Welcome to Celtic TV's live coverage of this Premiership match between Hibs and Celtic from Easter Road
00:02:24It's a huge huge game this afternoon Celtic playing before the others who are chasing for that title
00:02:30So a win this afternoon would really pile the pressure
00:02:33In fact it would put Celtic up to 73 points which is where Hearts currently are
00:02:38before they take on Rangers at Tyne Castle tomorrow night
00:02:43Simon Donnelly alongside me, Simon let's have a look at the starting 11 that Martin O'Neill has gone with
00:02:49A couple of changes to this side, Alistair Johnson comes back and makes his first start
00:02:53since early on in that season October when he picked up that injury
00:02:58came on against Falkirk last week and looked good so he starts this afternoon
00:03:02trustee scales Tierney make up the back four
00:03:04Callum McGregor, Arnett Engels and Benjamin Negrin
00:03:07the predictable midfield three
00:03:08Yang, Tuneke on the wings and Dyson Maeda who looks to have recaptured some of his best form
00:03:15starts through the middle on the bench for Celtic
00:03:17Ros Doohan the substitute goalkeeper
00:03:19Outfield players McCown, Iheanacho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sirachi, Hatate, Murray, Forrest and Ralston
00:03:27Probably what you would have expected, Simon?
00:03:29Yeah, maybe just a little bit of eyebrows raised
00:03:31Tuneke gets the opportunity again because James Forrest has made an impact
00:03:35in the time that he's been on the field in the last two or three games
00:03:39but the back four's got a familiar look to it with Johnson back in there
00:03:42Engels back in the middle of the park
00:03:44all the energy that he brings to the team
00:03:47Negrin with the goal threat that you hope he'll offer again this afternoon
00:03:50as you quite rightly say, four games to go, it's another massive game here that he still would
00:03:55It is indeed, and let's hear the thoughts of Celtic manager Martin O'Neill
00:03:59a short time ago at Easter Road
00:04:01he spoke to our reporter, Dillon Doherty
00:04:03Martin, two changes from the win against Falkirk
00:04:06Sebastian Tuneke and Alistair Johnstone makes his full return
00:04:10starting from the first time since October
00:04:12can you talk us through those changes and your thoughts on today's game?
00:04:15The changes are kind of straightforward really
00:04:18I thought Tuneke came on and helped for the goal that we scored
00:04:23got into the game, played wide right at that particular stage
00:04:26but anyway, and Alistair Johnstone starts here now because he's a very, very good player
00:04:31Might we see Yang and Tuneke switch wings like they did last year?
00:04:34Yeah, I'm sure that's a strong possibility
00:04:37The psychological layers to this game, I think it's been spoken about from a habilion point of view
00:04:41but how focused do you expect the opposition to be given the result that happened yesterday in Falkirk?
00:04:46Oh, total focus for the side, you know I've just come off an interview there now
00:04:51where they're talking about some Hibs fans maybe not wanting Hearts to win the league
00:04:55which is really understandable, I can see that, you know
00:04:57if you're a full-blooded supporter of a football club and your nearest rivals are going to tick something
00:05:03you don't want that to happen, but that'll have no bearing up whatsoever on the field of play
00:05:07It's all very dramatic and intense, Martin, as Celtic fans are going through a very intense title race
00:05:13but how do you stay calm through all this? Do you call on those experiences 20 years ago or is
00:05:18it different?
00:05:18It's totally different, totally different, you know, we have been playing catch-up now for months on air
00:05:25you know, it seemed as if both spells here in my time, that's what we've done
00:05:29so we're, you know, we've always talked about this year not having any room to spare
00:05:34we've said this year before, we lost it at Tanadice, which was a real setback, but I said it wasn't
00:05:39fatal
00:05:39now we're running into games where they're almost must-win situations anyway
00:05:44so, and that's it, really we have to go for it, regardless of what happens
00:05:49Well, Martin, all the very best of luck today
00:05:51Thank you very much indeed, thank you
00:05:53Martin O'Neill speaking to Dale and Doherty a short time ago

00:06:15the tickets can be got via the Celtic Pools app
00:06:18you've got to be at least 18 years of age and be based inside the UK and Ireland
00:06:23we mentioned Alistair Johnson, Martin O'Neill welcomed him back
00:06:26gave the reason why he included him, because he's a very fine footballer
00:06:30well, through the week, Alistair caught up with Daylon
00:06:40Alistair, you made your return from injury against Falkirk on Saturday
00:06:44they got a brilliant probation from the Celtic Park crowd
00:06:47after such a long time out on the sidelines
00:06:50what were the emotions like when you ran on the pitch?
00:06:53No, it was excitement to be back
00:06:54obviously, I knew that the plan was for me to get some minutes in that match
00:06:58warming up, again, the reception that I got was quite nice
00:07:01every single time I went to warm up
00:07:03I was ideally going to be coming on to a 2-0 match
00:07:05but they scored a bit of a worldy of a goal
00:07:08so coming on it was a bit of nerves in terms of
00:07:10okay, this game isn't fully seen out yet
00:07:12and I knew I was going to have to do some defending there
00:07:15but yeah, coming onto the pitch
00:07:17just being back to where I wanted to be
00:07:19which is back playing in front of that crowd
00:07:21it was great to see and hear that ovation for me
00:07:25it kind of really put everything in perspective
00:07:27because it has been a long slog this whole winter
00:07:30getting through this injury, going in
00:07:32I feel for all the injured boys now that I've really done it
00:07:35for that long of this season
00:07:38you're in there six days a week
00:07:39first one's in, last one's a leave
00:07:41and it's tiring
00:07:42it's mentally draining as much as it is physically draining
00:07:46so yeah, now I'm just happy to be on the other side of it
00:07:49we're still trying to be smart here
00:07:51obviously build up my minutes in the right way
00:07:54but I've timed it quite well
00:07:56in terms of I'm still here for this finals push
00:07:59and two trophies to play for
00:08:01so a lot to be done here in this next month
00:08:03and you're fully back now as we've previously mentioned
00:08:07looking ahead to Sunday
00:08:09Hibernian at Easter Road
00:08:10another tough fixture
00:08:11there's psychological layers to this
00:08:13even from a Hibernian point of view
00:08:15given everything round the title race picture
00:08:18and the wider picture
00:08:20how is you as a team and Celtic just control
00:08:24what you can do on Sunday
00:08:26how do you go through that thought process?
00:08:29No, we're great
00:08:30again, I think it's nice
00:08:32almost having the training ground up in Lenox Town
00:08:33you're kind of removed from the whole fishbowl
00:08:35and just the craziness of what this title race is
00:08:38we know it's a madness
00:08:39in terms of having three teams all in it
00:08:42but up there we kind of just live in our own world
00:08:45we know we just got to focus on training
00:08:46and try to train as best you can
00:08:48so you have a chance to be in the squad
00:08:50or a chance to start the next match
00:08:51and then just we're really in the mindset of
00:08:53let's just take this day by day
00:08:54match by match and see where that goes
00:08:56I know that almost sounds cliche
00:08:57but I think that's just the best way to look at it
00:08:59that Hibs one is not an easy match
00:09:01by any stretch of the imagination
00:09:02Easter Road is always a really difficult place
00:09:03for us to go since I've been here
00:09:07it's been a bit of a haunted ground for me as well
00:09:09I think I've come off injured a couple times there
00:09:10so knock on wood for a head over there
00:09:13but yeah, look, we know that they're desperate
00:09:16for points as well
00:09:17they've had a really strong season
00:09:19obviously being in the top six
00:09:22and yeah, as you touched on
00:09:23what's going on in that city
00:09:25in the title race as well
00:09:26adds a little, you know, extra
00:09:28kind of, you know, just mind games to it
00:09:30to a degree as well
00:09:31so look, we know
00:09:33we go over there, we play our game
00:09:34we're going to give ourselves a great chance
00:09:36but at the same time
00:09:36if you're not on it right from the word go
00:09:39it'll be a really difficult place to play
00:09:46great to see Alistair Johnson back in the Celtic
00:09:49starting 11 this afternoon
00:09:50we heard Daylon speaking to Martin and Ayla short time ago
00:09:54Simon Donnelly and talking about the backdrop to this game
00:09:59and all the talk this week has been about the Hibs supporters
00:10:02and how they really don't want their team to win
00:10:05which is completely bizarre
00:10:06but, you know, if you're a full-blooded football fan
00:10:09then, you know, if your team can't win something
00:10:11then the next thing is for your rivals not to win it
00:10:14so you can kind of understand that
00:10:16and I think Martin alluded to that
00:10:17but I'm just thinking about it from the player's perspective
00:10:19if everyone's talking about the potential of you essentially lying down
00:10:23then it might have the opposite effect
00:10:25and it might actually motivate you to prove that that's not the case
00:10:29Yeah, I think so
00:10:30Listen, I'm with Martin, I can understand the obvious feeling amongst the Hibs support there
00:10:36but when you look at it from a professional point of view
00:10:39Hibs have got potentially Europe to play for
00:10:42they're trying to keep in jobs for next season
00:10:45it's a professional outlook
00:10:46I can't remember as a player ever going onto the pitch and not wanting to win the game
00:10:50so I don't really think that affects the Hibs players at all
00:10:53and as Martin said there, Celtic will have to be at their best again in the next four games
00:10:58and treat every game one at a time
00:11:00I think the advantage this afternoon is having the game first
00:11:04you know the ebbs and flows of this title race
00:11:06you can go and put it down a marker and put a bit of pressure on the game tomorrow evening
00:11:10you know catching hearts on the points, tally
00:11:14and it'd been an important three points
00:11:16but yeah I can, listen mate
00:11:18there's always going to be little subplots throughout this title race
00:11:21and one of them today is
00:11:23it might be right, Hibs fans probably do not want to see their rivals win this league
00:11:27so they might not be wholeheartedly supporting their team this afternoon
00:11:31which is a weird thing to say
00:11:33yeah it would have been interesting to see how many Hibs supporters in the stadium come kick off
00:11:38plenty of empty seats just now
00:11:39but there's still a few minutes to go
00:11:41I'm thinking if you don't want your team to win then you might just not go along
00:11:45you know in the first place
00:11:46but you know the game yesterday that Daylon alluded to that game between Falkirk and Motherwell
00:11:51puts a little bit of pressure on Hibs
00:11:53Falkirk now just a couple of points behind Hibs
00:11:55and it means that with Motherwell not winning
00:11:57there's still that six point gap between Hibs and Motherwell in that European spot
00:12:03so you would think Motherwell still really strong favourites for that one
00:12:07but when it comes to Celtic
00:12:09you know the away support will give everything today to back the team
00:12:13what we saw against Falkirk was a real team that looked united, that looked focused
00:12:20you can see it in Callum McGregor's eyes
00:12:21it was great to see Dyson Maeda back to his best
00:12:24whoever wins this league really Simon is going to be the team that finishes the strongest
00:12:30and Celtic look, he said touch wood as if they've got the bit between the teeth
00:12:34they do, they do, they look as if they've got a wee bit of momentum
00:12:36I think they'll feed off the extra time goals against St Mirren
00:12:41in the difficult semi-final
00:12:44and then the goals against Falkirk last week
00:12:46as you say Maeda looks as if he's got the bit between his teeth
00:12:50for the run-in which is essential, his power of run-in puts defences under a hell of a lot
00:12:55of pressure
00:12:56he looks to be back at it, you look at Callum McGregor
00:12:59there's guys within the team there that have been over this course before
00:13:01they'll argue that it's not been a three team title race before
00:13:04but you can't take away the experience of winning leagues
00:13:07you've got a man in charge, his staff, Sean Maloney
00:13:11these things you have to take into consideration, they can only help, they can only help in the run-in
00:13:18absolutely, and Dyson Maeda has scored in the last two visits to Easter Road
00:13:22both he and Arne Engels
00:13:25were on target the last time out here earlier in the season when Celtic came away with a 2-1
00:13:30win
00:13:31I'm not sure about Hibbs lying down but the captain looks extremely young there
00:13:37I don't know if that's us, yeah it looks as if he's looking forward to it
00:13:39that's brilliant, John Ewell there with what I can only assume is his little kid
00:13:46Hibbs had to make a couple of changes because of the sendings off the Edinburgh Derby last week
00:13:52so the goalkeeper's changed, Jordan Smith, he performed well when he came on last week
00:13:57keeps his place between the sticks for the home side
00:14:01but that's a very focused Callum McGregor, I don't even think he's blinked in the last minute
00:14:05such as the focus, he knows what it means to win trophies here
00:14:08and of course it was 40 years ago today that Celtic pulled off the most incredible title win
00:14:13on the last day of the season with a 5-0 victory away to St Mirrenwell
00:14:17Hearts lost 2-0 away to Dundee
00:14:19that's a title win that has lived long in the memory for those who were there
00:14:23and those fans who lived through that incredible end to the season
00:14:27now it's Martin O'Neill and Callum McGregor's turn to somehow try and rekindle that spirit of 86
00:14:34because with only four league games to go it's Hearts once again who are top of the league
00:14:39with Celtic chasing just three points behind
00:14:41can history repeat itself in the next couple of weeks
00:14:45well a win today against Hibs at Easter Road would be one massive step towards that
00:14:50and it would pile on the pressure to the other two league challengers Hearts and Rangers
00:14:55who face off against each other tomorrow night at Tyne Castle
00:14:59no thoughts on that one yet
00:15:02but the manager did say when he was asked quite clearly will you be watching that game
00:15:07he went oh yeah absolutely
00:15:08yeah did I say that?
00:15:09oh yeah absolutely
00:15:10he did say got to do our business here
00:15:12of course
00:15:13but then absolutely I'll be watching he says I don't get these managers that say no I'll be well away
00:15:17from it
00:15:17I'll be watching it
00:15:18I'll be tuning in myself
00:15:19yeah but Celtic need to get the business done this afternoon otherwise tomorrow night's game really doesn't mean that much
00:15:25and that will be the focus this afternoon they need to take that momentum from the wins against St Mirren
00:15:31and that win last week against Falkirk and take it into the final few games of the season
00:15:36Hibs away today
00:15:38Rangers at home next Sunday
00:15:41Motherwell away the following Wednesday
00:15:42and then Hearts at home on the Saturday May 16th to finish things off
00:15:48what a final day of the season it could be because I think everyone agrees it could go down to
00:15:55the wire
00:15:55and it will go back and forth on the final day if it does
00:15:59it could be one not for the faint hearted
00:16:06Martin Boyle always a goal threat for Hibs
00:16:11his pace and trickery and finishing up front
00:16:13is always a menace but talking about menaces there is not a bigger menace in Scottish football than that man
00:16:18there dies in Maeda
00:16:28let me run through the Celtic team for you if you've just joined us it's
00:16:31Viljami Sinisalo in goal a back four of Alistair Johnson
00:16:34Austin trustee Liam Scales and Kieran Tierney
00:16:36a midfield three of Callum McGregor
00:16:38Arne Engels and top scorer Benjamin Negrim
00:16:41Yang and Tunecki provide the win
00:16:44and Dyson Maeda starts through the middle
00:16:48they're about to kick off
00:16:50that Easter Road Celtic in the
00:16:53third kit, their away kit, they're all black with the green pinstripes
00:16:58Hibs in the home kit
00:17:01Benjamin Negrim gets the game going
00:17:06Alistair Johnson mentioning that they live in their own little bubble at Lennox town
00:17:10lots of tough training sessions through the week all designed to get the team ready
00:17:17for win moment like this
00:17:20their eyes and it's the Celtic supporters that you can hear right from the off
00:17:23plenty of empty seats in the home sections here
00:17:26at Easter Road perhaps indicative
00:17:29of the feeling coming into this one
00:17:34and I don't think there's any doubt that the players on the pitch who are the ones that matter
00:17:38for the home side will be giving everything
00:17:41in a professional way to try and win the game for themselves
00:17:46free kick given in the centre of the pitch against Arne Engles
00:17:51quickly taken
00:17:53to the left hand side Cadden
00:17:57forward it goes
00:17:59cut out
00:18:00and all breaks down
00:18:02Celtics way
00:18:04Johnson inside to
00:18:06Austin Trusty
00:18:07out it goes to Kieran Tierney
00:18:13score again last week
00:18:15Tierney
00:18:15six league goals for Celtic's
00:18:18returning hero
00:18:19this season
00:18:21plenty of time on the pitch as well
00:18:24for a player who came in with a
00:18:27a number of injuries so he's
00:18:29certainly shrugged them off this season
00:18:30and been an important player
00:18:32yeah it was a fine finish last week and he's
00:18:34had a few assists as well this season
00:18:38done well of course for Scotland as well
00:18:42and he'll be looking forward to a
00:18:44a world cup
00:18:45where only once the job is done
00:18:47for Celtic as Sinisalo
00:18:48comes off his line and boots that one out for a
00:18:51a hips throw in level with the 18 yard line
00:18:53on the far side
00:19:04comes looking for a try
00:19:05well but the
00:19:06throw just a bit too long
00:19:08but
00:19:09the hips have it
00:19:12Ayrdale
00:19:12misses out Celtic pick the ball up in the middle of the park

00:21:03with all the possession Simon
00:21:04but not really penetrating at all
00:21:06it's a patient start
00:21:07Ibs are content to sit there and keep their shape
00:21:09and allow the play in front of them
00:21:12so it's up to Celtic to go and try and penetrate
00:21:14there's been a couple of runs from Maeda
00:21:15they'll be looking for the opportunity to try and turn that
00:21:19Hibs back line
00:21:23Hibs have it with Bashiri
00:21:24look at Dyson Maeda
00:21:26again just being that menace that we know he is
00:21:31now it's time for Celtic to put on that press
00:21:35balls out for a throw to
00:21:36Hibs though
00:21:37on this near side
00:21:43Dyson Maeda is so good at closing down
00:21:45I mean every single player knows what he's like
00:21:47he can expect it but they can't seem to do anything about it
00:21:50that's exactly what I'm thinking
00:21:50it still baffles me that players take that risk
00:21:53with them closing you down
00:21:54they must know by now
00:22:00Smith
00:22:00then goes Dyson with that turn of pace again
00:22:03just
00:22:04hurrying the goalkeeper into the clearance
00:22:06this is where Celtic can perhaps pick up on that
00:22:08great play
00:22:08from Maeda
00:22:09now it's Yang
00:22:10cuts that one back
00:22:11to Benjamin Negrin
00:22:12the cutback was
00:22:13just
00:22:14a little bit behind Negrin
00:22:15and on his right foot as well
00:22:17so
00:22:17the big Swede couldn't really
00:22:19provide the finish that he would have liked
00:22:21but that's great play
00:22:22once again all started by that man Dyson Maeda
00:22:24brilliant play
00:22:25he just keeps it going
00:22:26he closes down the keeper
00:22:27then he's out here
00:22:28this is a great opportunity
00:22:29can Yang just put his foot through it
00:22:31yeah
00:22:32a la Rangers
00:22:32I think he should have done
00:22:33cut it back to Negrin
00:22:34I think he just
00:22:36positive thoughts
00:22:37go straight through there
00:22:38and power it for goal
00:22:40yeah Negrin wanted it
00:22:41his arm was up straight away
00:22:42and I think Yang was just
00:22:44completely unselfish
00:22:45and trying to lay it on
00:22:45for Negrin
00:22:46when the shot was on for himself
00:22:47just a little bit behind
00:22:48Negrin as well
00:22:49he had to kind of dig it out
00:22:50it's a real good chance
00:22:52and again from the
00:22:52the hard work of Maeda
00:22:57Martin O'Neill will be very happy
00:22:59with
00:23:00the opening
00:23:01six minutes
00:23:03it's all Celtic here at Easter Road
00:23:06an early goal would
00:23:10be
00:23:11the icing on the cake
00:23:15in terms of a perfect start
00:23:16but Celtic playing with focus
00:23:19trusty back to Sinisalo
00:23:23out to Scales
00:23:24out to Scales
00:23:24he's got Tierney there
00:23:25goes a bit longer
00:23:26with the pass
00:23:28Teneke rushed into the
00:23:30forward ball
00:23:30Hibs pick it up inside
00:23:31the centre circle
00:23:33back it goes
00:23:34to Smith in goal
00:23:43Hibs were hoping to
00:23:44inflict some damage
00:23:45on the Edinburgh rivals
00:23:46in the derby
00:23:47last week
00:23:48but going down to nine men
00:23:49it was just too big of an ask
00:23:55he ended up going down
00:23:562-1 and lost a couple of players
00:23:57for this game
00:23:58as a result
00:23:59here's McGregor
00:24:02high ball through the middle
00:24:03the flag has stayed down
00:24:04Dyson Maeda
00:24:05is now through on goal
00:24:06and he skies
00:24:07a shot over the bar
00:24:12now it's a lovely pick out
00:24:13from McGregor
00:24:15and he's onside
00:24:16oh he's well onside
00:24:18he's onside
00:24:18it's a great bit of movement
00:24:19he's picked out brilliantly
00:24:20it's another really good chance
00:24:22just places that one high
00:24:24he's made a couple of runs
00:24:25this time the skipper sees him
00:24:26just can't get into his
00:24:28stride initially
00:24:29it's a good opportunity
00:24:31yeah
00:24:31McGregor was playing Dyson Maeda
00:24:33onside by a good yard
00:24:35but
00:24:35they're finishing just
00:24:36not up to scratch
00:24:37so
00:24:38a couple of good chances
00:24:39chances for Celtic
00:24:40in the opening seven minutes
00:24:42to get ahead
00:24:44neither taken
00:24:45but
00:24:46keep creating chances like that
00:24:48and I'm sure
00:24:49the net will bulge
00:24:51at some point
00:24:55Senesalo comes out to gather
00:24:57once a compliment's been made
00:24:59Senesalo's way from
00:25:01Kasper Schmeichel
00:25:01and
00:25:02an interview I did with it
00:25:04picked Dane this week
00:25:05very complimentary of
00:25:08the effect that
00:25:10the big finish goalkeeper has had
00:25:12since Kasper Schmeichel went out through
00:25:14serious injury
00:25:17and he couldn't
00:25:18penalise there for the free kick on
00:25:20John Newell
00:25:21looked a little bit perplexed by that one
00:25:30so
00:25:30McGrath and
00:25:31Caden over this one
00:25:34Celtic
00:25:34lining up
00:25:3522 yards
00:25:37from goal
00:25:38trying to keep a high defensive line
00:25:41eight and a half minutes gone
00:25:42Hibbs nil
00:25:43Celtic nil
00:25:44and it comes from Caden
00:25:47high one to the edge of the six-yard box
00:25:49it's headed back in
00:25:50but a chance there
00:25:52comes back into the area
00:25:54and headed away by
00:25:55Maeda only as far as
00:25:56Cadden
00:25:58the shot had to be quick as the challenge was coming in
00:26:00but
00:26:01with the left foot
00:26:02Nicky Cadden
00:26:03skied that one over the bar
00:26:05first venture at an attack from the set piece there
00:26:13turn the forward to Tanecki
00:26:15keep his footing there
00:26:16but Celtic will have the throw in
00:26:17from this
00:26:30trusty
00:26:32trusty
00:26:33back to Sinisalo
00:26:42scales
00:26:50Tanecki
00:26:54one ball forward taken down on the chest of Negrin
00:26:56played that inside
00:26:59Hibbs trying to deal with that
00:27:01defensively
00:27:02get the break of the ball
00:27:03McGregor will pick this one up for Celtic on the halfway line
00:27:06little shot pass to Tierney in space now
00:27:08lost on trusty
00:27:14Alistair Johnson
00:27:17Yang
00:27:17back it goes to Negrin
00:27:20McGregor
00:27:24Johnson getting involved in
00:27:28a lot of the
00:27:28possession football
00:27:30Tierney now
00:27:31to net kick
00:27:33back it goes scales
00:27:34look at the space for the big Irishman
00:27:37does he fancy a shot?
00:27:39he does
00:27:39that's not a great effort from Liam Scales
00:27:41the defence kept backing off Simon
00:27:43inviting the shot
00:27:44yeah and you could see
00:27:45almost the thought process
00:27:47eventually taking the shot on
00:27:48a little bit ambitious
00:27:49just
00:27:50underneath it
00:27:51a little bit wild
00:27:53certainly there's a lot of possession
00:27:55and a couple of opportunities
00:27:58Yang and Maeda
00:28:01yep
00:28:01Yang and Maeda
00:28:03scales
00:28:05for Celtic
00:28:07Cadden over the bar as well
00:28:08for the home side
00:28:10so a fairly open game
00:28:13Celtic
00:28:15coming forward again
00:28:17Negrin lays that one off to Tanecki
00:28:19and it goes
00:28:19the sliding challenge
00:28:21had to be good there
00:28:22from Rocky Bashiri
00:28:23as Dyson Maeda
00:28:24was coming in at the near post
00:28:25it's gone behind
00:28:26for a Celtic corner
00:28:27yeah it's good defendant
00:28:29certainly we just won the ball
00:28:31there and it was
00:28:31four attackers
00:28:33going towards the Hibs goal
00:28:35we're in our first corner here
00:28:36Engels comes across
00:28:38to take this corner
00:28:46very congested
00:28:47six-yard
00:28:48box
00:28:50another jostling going on for
00:28:52space
00:28:54and it comes
00:28:55looking for the near post
00:28:56header
00:28:57up in the air
00:28:58scales in there
00:28:58away from
00:28:59Bashiri
00:29:01McGregor there for Celtic
00:29:02for this man back
00:29:04is Tierney
00:29:05out it goes to the left hand side
00:29:07kept in by Engels well
00:29:08and out
00:29:11off Megua for a
00:29:12throw in to Celtic
00:29:17Tonecki leaves this for Tierney
00:29:25throw in to Celtic
00:29:28Tonecki a little bit fortunate there
00:29:32back it goes to scales
00:29:37trustee in the centre circle
00:29:48twelve and a half minutes gone we still await the opening goal at Easter Road
00:30:05Tonecki
00:30:06and it's a nice pass to Yang
00:30:09the player in the middle was Maeda he's gone down was a contact there from the goalkeeper
00:30:14still Celtic
00:30:15Negrin
00:30:17delayed with the shot
00:30:18still Negrin
00:30:19plenty of Hibbs bodies there
00:30:20he needs to find space
00:30:21give it to a teammate
00:30:22it's McGregor
00:30:23Hibbs closing down the space
00:30:25Engels turns into
00:30:27a congested area
00:30:28the referee is blown
00:30:29for a free kick to Celtic
00:30:30in a dangerous position
00:30:32and I'd like to see that one again with the goalkeeper on Maeda
00:30:34yeah it was Elgin on there
00:30:35it was a great run from Yang
00:30:36initially to get in behind the defence
00:30:38and Maeda just in front of the keeper
00:30:41very tight here
00:30:42as we just see the
00:30:44end of the move
00:30:45Engels is filled at the edge of the box here
00:30:47as it's the start
00:30:48try to feed this into Maeda
00:30:52just gets here before
00:30:54yeah you wouldn't want a penalty for that
00:30:56so
00:30:56fair decision but Celtic have a great opportunity here
00:31:00slightly right of centre
00:31:01I imagine Negrin would be over this one
00:31:04scored from a relatively similar position
00:31:06maybe a little bit
00:31:08further
00:31:09to the right
00:31:11at Tyne Castle
00:31:13what can he do here
00:31:14we're having a look at that one again
00:31:15there's no real contact there on Maeda
00:31:20oh well
00:31:23it's one of those ones
00:31:24these arms there
00:31:25I don't know how much contact there is
00:31:27but again Maeda
00:31:28the anticipation
00:31:29to get there first
00:31:31they're having a look at it obviously
00:31:32yeah
00:31:33no penalty
00:31:34no penalty
00:31:36listen I'm sure we can
00:31:38go into the archives
00:31:39and pick out examples this season
00:31:41where they were given as penalties
00:31:42such has been the inconsistency but
00:31:44I think that's a fair decision in the end
00:31:46Celtic have a free kick
00:31:47Negrin
00:31:48Celtic tops goal scorer
00:31:49over this one
00:31:50Jordan Smith trying to
00:31:52line up his wall
00:31:53it's a tricky one this
00:31:54if Negrin can
00:31:56dip this one over the wall
00:31:58there's a big goal to aim at
00:32:0120 yards out
00:32:03Benjamin Negrin
00:32:0415 minutes gone at Easter Road
00:32:06can Celtic's top scorer
00:32:07find the back of the net
00:32:09straight into the wall
00:32:11it is from Negrin
00:32:12had to try and keep it
00:32:13relatively low
00:32:16but not that low
00:32:25once again another opportunity
00:32:26goes begging for Celtic
00:32:29they'll be pleased with the start
00:32:30they've made
00:32:31yeah they look dangerous enough
00:32:32going forward
00:32:35to take one of their chances
00:32:36get themselves in front
00:32:43here on the inside to
00:32:44Maeda McGregor
00:32:45lays it off to Engles
00:32:46first time pass from Engles
00:32:48looking for
00:32:48Yang
00:32:51beaten to that one
00:32:52by Caden
00:32:54wrong ball forward
00:32:57from one of the
00:32:58Caden twins
00:32:59the other one's on the bench
00:33:02Johnson now
00:33:03threads that one through
00:33:04nicely to
00:33:05Negrin
00:33:06who helps it on its way to
00:33:07Yang
00:33:07waits for support
00:33:09inside Negrin
00:33:10oh he had space for the shot
00:33:12Yang
00:33:12lovely ball across
00:33:13but that's the goalkeeper's area
00:33:15and he commanded it well
00:33:16to Jordan Smith
00:33:18it's a great lot of football though
00:33:19Alistair Johnson's off on his self there
00:33:21as a disguise
00:33:23they work it between themselves
00:33:25they just look for a better final ball there
00:33:28yeah I think Maeda Mair have been a little bit offside as well when that ball came across
00:33:34play from Tenetke
00:33:35showing a willingness to
00:33:36win the ball back
00:33:37McGregor now inside to
00:33:39Trusty
00:33:46Negrin back to Trusty
00:33:48Tierney
00:34:08Tierney
00:34:10skills
00:34:11Sinasawa
00:34:12on the foot
00:34:12on the chest
00:34:13on the chest
00:34:15on the chest
00:34:41Tierney
00:34:41nothing or not
00:34:42you'll see Maeda willing to go into it
00:34:45long kick forward by Smith
00:34:47onto the head of Scales
00:34:48picked up here by Megwa
00:34:49challenge well though by
00:34:51Engles
00:34:51good first time ball into the back of Tenetke
00:34:54running forward down this left hand side
00:34:56being chased by
00:34:57Achaiwa
00:34:59good play from Tenetke
00:35:00early ball in from Tierney
00:35:03Bashiri
00:35:03at full stretch there
00:35:04but he got enough on this
00:35:06kept in by Caden
00:35:07on the far side
00:35:07but Celtic have it back
00:35:08Johnson
00:35:09that's a late challenge
00:35:11that'll be a yellow card
00:35:13first one of the afternoon
00:35:1418 minutes gone
00:35:16don't think Jamie McGrath enough
00:35:18much complaint about that one
00:35:19yeah it's well read from Johnson
00:35:21I actually think he could keep going
00:35:23oh goodness me
00:35:23that's a
00:35:24studs on the shin
00:35:25we had the ball there
00:35:26we had the ball there in that
00:35:26he couldn't let it go
00:35:28certainly a yellow card
00:35:33yeah I think when it's a
00:35:34relatively serious one like that
00:35:35the referee will always stop the play
00:35:37and that's
00:35:37that was a
00:35:38when you watch that back in slow motion
00:35:40there was studs on the
00:35:43on the calf there from McGrath
00:35:44did it well here
00:35:46and he catches him
00:35:47inside of the ankle
00:35:50yeah I think they're looking at this one
00:35:51it doesn't surprise me at all Simon
00:35:53they're looking for serious foul play
00:35:55and I think if they're looking at this one
00:35:56he's gonna get
00:35:57he's gonna go off
00:35:58doesn't look good
00:35:59yeah
00:36:01I don't think you can look back in that one and say
00:36:03no
00:36:04it's
00:36:05it's not studs
00:36:06it's not high
00:36:06it's not dangerous
00:36:07it's all of those things
00:36:12there's force as well
00:36:13he wasn't in control of the ball
00:36:14and I
00:36:15yeah
00:36:16I think this could be a big advantage to Celtic
00:36:18Hibs who lost two players against Hearts last week
00:36:20of course
00:36:21I think they could be about to lose another here
00:36:24an important player as well
00:36:25Jamie McGrath
00:36:27and a large portion of the game still to come
00:36:29this would give Celtic a big advantage
00:36:31if Hibs do go down to ten men
00:36:38it does well Johnson just to read it
00:36:41there's the point of contact
00:36:42it's
00:36:42it's not looking good
00:36:43oh
00:36:44serious
00:36:44not
00:36:45I mean he's
00:36:46Alistair Johnson is lucky that he took his right leg up when he did
00:36:49because that could have been a leg breaker if his studs had stayed in the
00:36:51in the top
00:36:52you see the impact and you see the leg moving but as you say he kind of tries to ride
00:36:56it
00:36:56yeah
00:36:57not much else for the referee
00:37:01to do but produce a straight red card to Jamie McGrath
00:37:09he will miss the next two games
00:37:12sent off here for serious foul play
00:37:1420 minutes gone
00:37:15Hibs will have to play the
00:37:17remainder of this match
00:37:19with ten men
00:37:28thankfully I don't think Alistair Johnson is seriously injured by that he managed to get his leg up and away
00:37:34as soon as he could but
00:37:37not quick enough for
00:37:38the contact to cause the studs marks
00:37:41Celtic will have a free kick then
00:37:42on the far side
00:37:43Engels
00:37:44will look to curl this one in
00:37:46can Celtic make quick advantage
00:37:48of the advantage
00:37:50as Alistair Johnson limps away
00:37:57and it comes from Engels
00:37:58it's a decent delivery
00:37:59Yang is in there
00:38:02Negrin
00:38:03got so many bodies
00:38:04it's so congested
00:38:06Hibs are just putting everybody behind the ball
00:38:08it's a corner to Celtic
00:38:10yeah they did this last week when they went down to
00:38:13ten and nine men
00:38:14just getting bodies in front of everything
00:38:19to Celtic to
00:38:20find a way to penetrate
00:38:21Douglas Ross the assistant over there
00:38:23I'm sure it was
00:38:24him that was shouting
00:38:25red card red card
00:38:26to the referee
00:38:29in comes the corner
00:38:31decent delivery again
00:38:32off in the air by O'Horror
00:38:35Hibs will get it clear
00:38:36and they're just
00:38:37booting that one as far away
00:38:38from their own goal
00:38:39as they possibly can
00:38:43Johnson
00:38:43lets it bounce
00:38:44and then plays that one
00:38:45forward
00:38:47no one there
00:38:48for Celtic though
00:38:49interesting to see what David Gray does now
00:38:51with
00:38:52with Gra
00:38:53off the pitch
00:39:00they did manage to frustrate
00:39:01hearts right up to the
00:39:03final
00:39:04minutes in that game last week
00:39:06with the nine men
00:39:07and I think that's all they can do here
00:39:09is try and frustrate Celtic
00:39:15to take
00:39:16McGregor penalised for the challenge
00:39:17there on Newell
00:39:18lets watch this one again
00:39:20seemed to kick the ball
00:39:21the player went down
00:39:25midway point in the first half
00:39:27Hibs nil, Celtic nil
00:39:28Hibs down to ten men
00:39:37free kick to the home side just inside the Celtic half
00:39:40Cadden to take
00:39:49leaves that one
00:39:52gets it shot
00:39:54and it comes now but much too close to it
00:39:58Sinisalo
00:39:59who looks to get the attack going
00:40:00rolls that one out
00:40:02to Yang
00:40:04oh what a ball that is from Yang
00:40:05what a ball that is to Maeda
00:40:07chance for Celtic
00:40:09and Maeda's put it past the post
00:40:12that was all about the pass from Yang
00:40:14the pass was different class
00:40:16it's a great run
00:40:17he's made these runs from the start of the game
00:40:19times it brilliantly again
00:40:20it's a brilliant pick out
00:40:22in front of
00:40:23the sweary there
00:40:24he's gotta score
00:40:25he's gotta hit the target at least
00:40:26he's gotta hit the target
00:40:28maybe he got the scores a bit harsh
00:40:30but you've got to
00:40:30test the keeper there
00:40:31fantastic ball from Yang
00:40:34yeah that ball took out
00:40:36three Hibs defenders
00:40:37right onto the feet of Dyson
00:40:39Maeda
00:40:39he couldn't have asked for
00:40:41a better assist but
00:40:43Maeda just couldn't find the target
00:40:45as Jordan Smith tried to come out
00:40:46and narrow the angle
00:40:47yeah that's a threat though
00:40:48there's a lot of space in there
00:40:49Yang's found it once
00:40:50Maeda's been in twice
00:40:52he's making good runs at the right time
00:40:59now one thing we know about Dyson Maeda
00:41:01he will keep going
00:41:01he will keep trying
00:41:06no stranger to a goal here at Easter Road
00:41:12scored on Celtic's last two visits
00:41:16Tierney
00:41:18back to Scales
00:41:19midway inside the
00:41:20Hibs half
00:41:21in the middle is
00:41:22Trusty
00:41:23he's got Yang out wide right
00:41:25if he wants him
00:41:25out it goes to
00:41:26Celtic's Korean
00:41:29again Hibs
00:41:30everyone lined up
00:41:32on the edge of the area
00:41:33Scales now
00:41:36Tierney perhaps
00:41:37will go for the cross
00:41:38and it comes headed away
00:41:42only Celtic players are out there though
00:41:44McGregor
00:41:46scales
00:41:48Tonecki now
00:41:49he's got a
00:41:50byline to go at
00:41:51if he wants
00:41:51he takes it to the byline
00:41:53it's a decent delivery in
00:41:54just over the head of Maeda
00:41:56Yang coming in as well
00:41:58got the touch
00:41:58the final touch
00:41:59and it'll be a goal kick
00:42:00as we hit 25 minutes at Easter Road
00:42:02Hibs nil
00:42:03Celtic nil
00:42:04positive play from Tonecki this time
00:42:07goes to the byline
00:42:09just hangs up towards the back post
00:42:11inviting a header
00:42:12Yang who we'll see
00:42:13come in and score it though
00:42:14that area before
00:42:16it's defended well though
00:42:18yeah that's great from Tonecki
00:42:19need more of that
00:42:30Celtic supporters
00:42:32have got a
00:42:33a section of the
00:42:34the stand behind the goal to her right
00:42:35so
00:42:37Celtic will be
00:42:38shooting into
00:42:41their own fans
00:42:41in the second half
00:42:43not the full stand
00:42:44in fact not even half the stand
00:42:49certainly making plenty of noise
00:42:51this afternoon
00:42:52cheering their team on
00:42:53to what they hope will be
00:42:53a
00:42:54massive
00:42:55three points
00:42:56Celtic are still to find the back of the net here
00:42:58scales
00:43:05scales
00:43:05Johnson
00:43:06Yang
00:43:07outright
00:43:08McGregor wants it
00:43:09McGregor gets it
00:43:1030 yards from goal
00:43:12chips that one in
00:43:13looking for Negrin
00:43:14back it comes to the captain
00:43:15now scales
00:43:16takes
00:43:16to net keep
00:43:18on the left
00:43:20he'll come inside
00:43:22back it goes to scales
00:43:23Tierney's looking for it
00:43:25space on the left
00:43:27right foot crossing from
00:43:28Tierney headed away by
00:43:30Bashiri
00:43:31back in by
00:43:32Johnson
00:43:32Bashiri
00:43:34launches that one up into the
00:43:35Celtic half
00:43:36trusty
00:43:37taking more chances
00:43:38back it goes to
00:43:40Sinisalo
00:43:40I don't think
00:43:41Hibs will have
00:43:44many
00:43:45great intentions to get forward
00:43:48it's all that
00:43:49defensive rear guard for them
00:43:51down to ten men as they are
00:43:53trusty
00:43:54to Johnson
00:43:55how long can they hold out though
00:43:57that is the question
00:43:58Celtic carving out some good opportunities
00:44:00can they get another one here
00:44:02and it comes from Alistair Johnson
00:44:04to net you know eight yards from goal
00:44:06lays that one
00:44:06back to Benjamin Negrin
00:44:08and he pulls up
00:44:09a great effort
00:44:10and a good save from Smith
00:44:14well it might not be Celtic's best chance
00:44:16but it's the closest Celtic have come to a goal
00:44:18yeah
00:44:18he's picked out nicely as well
00:44:21and it's a good save in the end
00:44:24down to the far side low
00:44:26Negrin with a controlled finish
00:44:31to net you know as Celtic come again
00:44:34inside to angles
00:44:38the Hibs players are chasing the ball
00:44:40trying to concentrate
00:44:43it's a tall order
00:44:45when you don't have the ball
00:44:48oh with a pass like that
00:44:49from trusty to Johnson
00:44:50bit of a misunderstanding
00:44:51will give the Hibs players
00:44:52a bit of a breather
00:44:54here's this chance again
00:44:55from Negrin
00:44:55yeah just walked his way to
00:44:56Teneke here
00:44:57and he realises
00:44:58he can't take the shot
00:44:59he picks out Negrin
00:45:00brilliantly at the edge of the box
00:45:02tries to just control it
00:45:04and sweep it into that bottom corner
00:45:06keeper gets across well
00:45:12Jordan Smith of course brought in
00:45:14after
00:45:15Salinger was
00:45:18sent off in the Edinburgh Derby
00:45:19for handling a ball outside the area
00:45:21in front of a Harts player
00:45:23in front of a Harts player
00:45:24he suspended this afternoon
00:45:27Smith a very able
00:45:29deputy
00:45:35Celtic have the ball again
00:45:36just inside their own half
00:45:37here scales
00:45:41trusty
00:45:45Benjamin Negrin
00:45:46Alistair Johnson
00:45:47in an advanced position
00:45:48here's Yang
00:45:49running
00:45:49at the diagonal
00:45:50from the right
00:45:52inside it goes to Negrin
00:45:53this will be laid back
00:45:54to the captain
00:45:54McGregor goes for the shot
00:45:56ricochets into the
00:45:57legs of
00:45:59Bashiri
00:46:02Caught it as well
00:46:03cleared away there by Elding
00:46:04yeah the skipper caught it well
00:46:06just blocked again
00:46:07bodies
00:46:08between
00:46:09the shot
00:46:10and the goal
00:46:12yeah surely just a
00:46:14a
00:46:14numbers game perspective
00:46:16one of these
00:46:17shots is going to count
00:46:20forward by
00:46:21Tierney
00:46:23Teneke
00:46:23showed too much of that one to
00:46:25Megvan it's come off
00:46:26Teneke last and gone behind
00:46:28for a goal kick
00:46:29approaching the half hour mark
00:46:31nearly a third of this game
00:46:32gone
00:46:32Celtic trying the hardest
00:46:34but still haven't been able to
00:46:36find the back of the net
00:46:40yeah I think that might just come off Teneke
00:46:59trust it
00:47:00trust it Maeda nice ball inside there from Negrin all over the top
00:47:04Yang looking for Maeda but it's cut out
00:47:07the hips have it up in the
00:47:09Celtic half
00:47:10but Elding was
00:47:11offside
00:47:12it's going to be a frustrating afternoon for
00:47:14Owen Elding
00:47:17and Martin Boyle
00:47:18but if
00:47:22they'll get many opportunities
00:47:24let's hope Celtic get plenty
00:47:25here's Negrin edge of the area
00:47:27quickly closed down
00:47:28needs to find a teammate in space
00:47:31finds Alistair Johnson in the corner of the area
00:47:33cross come in from Johnson
00:47:35blocked
00:47:37Airedale
00:47:37and out for a Celtic corner
00:47:41now would be a great time to get the opening goal
00:47:43any time would be a great time to get the opening goal
00:47:47yeah just relieves that little bit of pressure
00:47:49and you'd think that Celtic would gain confidence from that
00:47:51they're playing well
00:47:52they've created chances
00:47:54they need to take one
00:47:55well normally Negrin would go across and take these corners
00:47:58but he's left this one to Tierney
00:48:02Negrin in the six yard boxes
00:48:05the ball comes in from Kieran Tierney
00:48:08headed away by Bashiri
00:48:11Tenetke
00:48:12McGregor
00:48:14Johnson
00:48:16out to Tierney
00:48:17in comes the cross again
00:48:20trusty trying to get under that one but
00:48:22just couldn't stretch high enough
00:48:24and it comes off his head
00:48:25and behind for a goal kick
00:48:29plenty of options on the bench for Celtic
00:48:31this afternoon that I'm sure we'll see
00:48:32in the second half
00:48:34Ian Acho
00:48:35we know we can rely on
00:48:37big Nigerian
00:48:38for a goal if needed
00:48:40James Forrest of course
00:48:41has shown some great impact from the bench
00:48:43in recent times as well
00:48:44as the Scotland manager
00:48:46watches on
00:48:53he's got a big squad to name
00:48:57in the World Cup
00:48:59forward it goes
00:49:00the pace of Yang
00:49:02first time pass from Yang
00:49:04blocked and behind for another corner
00:49:08Celtic will take this quickly
00:49:10as it goes to McGregor
00:49:20middle of the half as
00:49:22trusty leaves that one for scales
00:49:26trusty
00:49:28Johnson playing in between the lines
00:49:29we'll have a goal
00:49:30might as well
00:49:31the space was there
00:49:32the space had opened out
00:49:34for Alistair Johnson
00:49:34just pulled his shot wide
00:49:36you can understand why he took it
00:49:38yeah again
00:49:39the back off
00:49:40he steps in
00:49:43his responsibility
00:49:44just
00:49:45pulls it ever so slightly
00:49:50hasn't played much this season
00:49:51but he has got a goal in the League Cup
00:49:53to open his account in the League
00:49:55he'd love to do that this afternoon
00:49:57but
00:49:57he's not there to
00:49:58to score goals
00:50:04one kick out from Smith
00:50:05straight out of the pitch
00:50:06right down by that
00:50:07home dug out
00:50:11way dug out I think
00:50:16Sean Maloney in that dug out
00:50:17of course
00:50:18knows this place well
00:50:19former Hibs manager
00:50:25Yang cuts inside
00:50:26it's a 1-2 with
00:50:27Negrin
00:50:28lays that one back to Tierney
00:50:31now Tenetke
00:50:32against Megwa
00:50:34cuts back this time
00:50:37Tierney
00:50:39ball ricochets into space
00:50:42Trusty's under this one
00:50:44Yang just coming back
00:50:45from an offside position
00:50:47rather frustratingly
00:50:49that move
00:50:50Celtic breaks down
00:50:56just gonna take a little bit of something
00:50:58a little spark
00:50:59a little bit of magic
00:50:59Simon
00:51:00yeah just a little bit of composure
00:51:01round about that box
00:51:03if we can
00:51:04we've been able to turn them
00:51:05there's been a lot of space in behind
00:51:08that wide here every Yang as well
00:51:10but just yeah looking for that little bit of
00:51:13composure in that 18 yard box
00:51:15but it's so congested
00:51:23Long kick up field from Smith
00:51:25onto the head of
00:51:25Crusty
00:51:25taken down
00:51:27the chest of
00:51:28Negrin
00:51:30Johnson coming forward
00:51:33Yang went on a run there
00:51:34but the short pass was
00:51:35played instead to Negrin
00:51:37across it goes to
00:51:38Scales
00:51:43Tierney
00:51:44back to Scales
00:51:46look how far up the pitch
00:51:47Sinisalo is
00:51:48almost at the halfway line there
00:51:49Superkeeper
00:51:50I honestly think that thing
00:51:51the movement the Yang there's on
00:51:53all day
00:51:53yeah
00:51:54if they're willing to take the
00:51:55it's not even a risk
00:51:57just put it in behind
00:51:58yeah it's worked every time they've done it
00:51:59here's Tonekki
00:52:06Johnson
00:52:08Maeda
00:52:10again Hibs tracking every Celtic movement
00:52:13Yang takes this one to the byline
00:52:16still Yang cutting it back to
00:52:18Negrin
00:52:21it's good play from Bashiri getting in the way of the pass
00:52:24good play from Yang again there
00:52:26he's got the beating of his man
00:52:29he's got the pace there as well
00:52:33just the end
00:52:35product with the cross
00:52:37yeah these will all be things the coaching staff are noticing
00:52:41Engels goes across to take this corner then it'll be the out swing up
00:52:46from the Belgian
00:52:49oh it goes low
00:52:51it's dummied there by Yang perhaps he should have
00:52:54taken that one yeah
00:52:55the corner was more of a pass than anything
00:52:58but
00:52:58I think Yang maybe thought
00:52:59this isn't for me so I better just leave it
00:53:01but it looked like
00:53:01it looked like
00:53:02it looked like one that was worked on the training ground
00:53:03so she
00:53:03didn't know his role in it
00:53:05but obviously it was a mishick there
00:53:06from Engels
00:53:08Celtic have it though with Tierney
00:53:10corner of the area
00:53:12Megua with him
00:53:13so short pass it is to
00:53:15Engels
00:53:16now to Netki
00:53:18one on one with
00:53:19Megua
00:53:20plays a nice ball inside
00:53:22Negrin
00:53:23can't get on the end of the pass there
00:53:25from Yang
00:53:26Celtic trying to carve out an opening
00:53:28but there's just
00:53:28no space
00:53:30can they find it here
00:53:33Negrin
00:53:33tries to thread one through
00:53:35Engels once again
00:53:36it's just so tight
00:53:38yeah
00:53:38so much traffic in there
00:53:41you'll need to be very intricate
00:53:42very accurate with it
00:53:54here's Negrin again on the diagonal
00:53:56cuts in sight
00:54:01square pass to Tierney
00:54:03back to Scales
00:54:04McGregor
00:54:05Celtic trying to use the wide areas now
00:54:10cutting inside again
00:54:12narrowing
00:54:12the space
00:54:17Scales
00:54:18short pass is a good one
00:54:20Tierney now
00:54:20needs to get that one on to his left foot
00:54:22edge of the area
00:54:23pass there from
00:54:26Yang
00:54:27once again you're thinking
00:54:28have a go
00:54:30here's Johnson
00:54:31look at the number of Hibs players
00:54:33back there
00:54:34trusty
00:54:34goes with the shot
00:54:35straight at the goalkeeper
00:54:36and a relatively straightforward catch by Smith
00:54:40yeah it's another of the Bikling getting a shot on goal
00:54:42because they're stepping off us
00:54:45I'm with you there Gerry I think
00:54:47Yang should never take the shot on
00:54:48it's a pass too many
00:54:56yeah no frustration yet Celtic are playing really well
00:55:03and you get the feeling
00:55:06the chance and the opening will come as these
00:55:11nine outfield players of Hibs tire as this game goes on
00:55:15McGregor picks it up
00:55:16edge of the area into some space now will the captain go for goal he does and
00:55:21just like Maeda and
00:55:23scales before him
00:55:24high over the bar
00:55:26from
00:55:26Calum McGregor
00:55:27he's on to this quick
00:55:28deep control
00:55:30he decides to take the shot on
00:55:31I think it's Tenekun
00:55:32he's outside
00:55:34took the shot on
00:55:35just got underneath it
00:55:36six and a half minutes
00:55:38of regulation time
00:55:40left in this first half
00:55:41Hibs
00:55:42hanging on to a goalless draw
00:55:45down to ten men after
00:55:47a straight red card for Jamie McGrath and his
00:55:51high studded challenge into the leg of Alistair Johnson
00:55:58goal kicked long by Smith
00:56:00taken down on the chest of
00:56:02trusty Celtic now come again
00:56:04Alistair Johnson
00:56:06afforded
00:56:07lots of space to run into
00:56:09out wide right
00:56:10it goes to Yang
00:56:11back inside to McGregor
00:56:12as Hibs once again structure the defensive line on the edge of the box
00:56:16scales now
00:56:16Celtic move it out to the left hand side
00:56:18can Tenekun
00:56:19provide that little bit of spark
00:56:21that little bit of magic
00:56:22takes it to the byline
00:56:23across comes another Hibs player
00:56:24and it will be another Celtic corner
00:56:29positive play again
00:56:30he's up against two
00:56:32that needs to win the corner
00:56:42now
00:56:42Celtic's play certainly merits a goal but you don't often get what you merit in football
00:56:47you need to just keep plugging away
00:56:50Celtic have another chance here from a corner from the left to be curled in by Arna Engles
00:56:58good delivery
00:56:59but
00:56:59headed away at the near post
00:57:01only as far as McGregor
00:57:02just couldn't get hold of that shot
00:57:04for this player back for Celtic
00:57:06is Tierney
00:57:07he helps it back to Sinisalo
00:57:09gets it straight back
00:57:13leaves that one for scales
00:57:19out it goes to Tenekun
00:57:22quickly close down
00:57:23checks back
00:57:23gives it to Tierney
00:57:25scales now
00:57:27to trusting
00:57:29Celtic edge forward
00:57:30play the ball across the pitch
00:57:32now Yang
00:57:32again running at the diagonal
00:57:34takes it to the byline
00:57:35checks back
00:57:36is supported here by
00:57:37Alistair Johnson
00:57:40goes for the little one-two
00:57:42chance for Celtic
00:57:43and it's the opening goal
00:57:48but the flag is up on that far side
00:57:51I did wonder when it came across
00:57:52the goalkeeper was advanced
00:57:54Dyson Maeda provided the finish
00:57:56it will be checked of course by VAR
00:57:58the flag is up
00:57:59so as things stand
00:58:00the goal will not count
00:58:01and he is in an offside position
00:58:03is he behind the ball
00:58:04is he?
00:58:05not where the ball is
00:58:06look where he is
00:58:07now the lines will be drawn
00:58:10it's a well worked goal
00:58:11really nice one-two
00:58:12opens him up
00:58:13forget about the positioning
00:58:14of the hips players
00:58:15if Dyson Maeda
00:58:16is behind the ball
00:58:17when it's played
00:58:18then he is onside
00:58:22so a huge moment in this game
00:58:24very tight
00:58:26well worked on two
00:58:31referee will wait
00:58:32it's a factual decision
00:58:33so he won't have to go
00:58:34and look at it
00:58:35he'll just be told
00:58:35one way or the other
00:58:37what a moment to get ahead
00:58:39if Celtic have
00:58:40is he behind the ball
00:58:41it looks like he might be
00:58:42he's behind the ball
00:58:43I think you're right Simon
00:58:44he's behind the ball
00:58:47he was ahead of the hips players
00:58:48but if that is
00:58:50behind the man playing the ball
00:58:51it's a goal
00:58:55the goal's been given
00:58:57Dyson Maeda
00:58:59once again at Easter Roads
00:59:02right in there
00:59:03where it counts
00:59:04and a massive time
00:59:05to score
00:59:06a massive goal
00:59:07for Celtic
00:59:08it's a brilliant work goal
00:59:11he cannot beat a one-two
00:59:12he opens them up
00:59:13Johnson
00:59:14I think it's with Yang
00:59:15little one-two
00:59:16opens them up
00:59:17plays it along
00:59:19Maeda's the first to react
00:59:21behind the ball
00:59:22Lindsay couldn't get his flag up
00:59:24quick enough
00:59:24but it's one-nil Celtic
00:59:26great little one-two
00:59:27is it Negrin actually?
00:59:29brilliant
00:59:30fantastic
00:59:31that's the kind of thing
00:59:32they work on throughout
00:59:33the week at Lennox town
00:59:35and it comes good
00:59:36when it matters
00:59:39and Celtic have got a crucial goal
00:59:41and it's
00:59:41it's no more than they deserve
00:59:43absolutely
00:59:44they've been really good
00:59:45this first half
00:59:46albeit the Hibs are down to ten men
00:59:48but they started the game well
00:59:4911v11
00:59:50well that's a lovely crossfield ball
00:59:52to Tenetke
00:59:52can Celtic get another one?
00:59:54well the pass was on there to Tierney
00:59:56Tenetke needs to do something now
00:59:57back it goes to Engels
00:59:59will he let fly
01:00:00he does
01:00:00it comes off
01:00:00and Hibs player and over the bar
01:00:02and Celtic piling on the pressure
01:00:04two minutes left in this one
01:00:06and Celtic have the lead
01:00:07and a corner
01:00:07it's another great block I think
01:00:09from Buswiri in there
01:00:11Engels let fly
01:00:14yeah it's no more than Celtic deserve
01:00:17they've looked threatening going forward
01:00:18just hadn't been up to that point
01:00:21to be able to take anything
01:00:22Alistair Johnson been involved in everything
01:00:24this first half
01:00:26loving being back
01:00:27playing
01:00:28as the Canadian
01:00:29and it comes
01:00:30from Engels
01:00:32header there
01:00:33and it will be
01:00:33cleared
01:00:35unconvincingly
01:00:36Celtic pick it up
01:00:36Tenetke
01:00:38Engels first time crossing from
01:00:40the Belgian
01:00:40but that will be left
01:00:41to go behind
01:00:42for a goal kick
01:00:48well I'm sure it will be a much
01:00:50more relieved
01:00:51Martin O'Neill
01:00:52at half time
01:00:53if Celtic can hold out
01:00:54he's in my head up
01:00:55three goals
01:00:55and three visits
01:00:56to Easter Road
01:00:59yeah it's a decent half again
01:01:01he's moving
01:01:01there's been a couple of times
01:01:02that he probably looked back
01:01:03and think he could have done better
01:01:04with other two chances
01:01:05but he moves quickly there Gerry
01:01:07to get himself out of position
01:01:09for that one
01:01:09some tap in in the end
01:01:11but it's the movement before it
01:01:13gets him the opportunity
01:01:15a tenth league goal for
01:01:17and he's in
01:01:18Maeda 12 in total
01:01:20for a season
01:01:21and he could be so pivotal
01:01:23to this run in
01:01:28forward comes Celtic again
01:01:32Negrin
01:01:34Yang
01:01:35up to the Swede
01:01:37McGregor
01:01:41probably going to be a
01:01:42maybe just a couple of minutes
01:01:43added on at the end of this
01:01:45first half
01:01:46the goal check
01:01:46the red card check
01:01:49Tenetke
01:01:49running at Megua
01:01:50cuts inside
01:01:51lays that one back
01:01:52oh the dummy was
01:01:53a good idea there
01:01:55from Kieran Tierney
01:01:56but
01:01:56Hibbs player coming back
01:01:57just got in the way
01:01:58there's unlucky
01:01:59again
01:02:01Tenetke
01:02:01watch himself in the park
01:02:02picks somebody out
01:02:05three minutes added then
01:02:08Hibbs have really got their work cut out
01:02:10but Celtic now
01:02:12have their advantage
01:02:13numerical advantage
01:02:15on the pitch
01:02:15and a goal
01:02:17Tenetke's shot
01:02:18that's blocked
01:02:19good play from
01:02:20McGregor though
01:02:21wins it back for Celtic
01:02:22keeps the pressure on Hibbs
01:02:24in these
01:02:24dying moments
01:02:25of the first half
01:02:28Johnson out to
01:02:29Yang
01:02:30showed too much of that one
01:02:32to Cadden
01:02:32gets the throw
01:02:45to
01:02:45to
01:02:45Tonek
01:02:46to
01:02:47running at Megua all half
01:02:50he's not one back to
01:02:51Tierney back to
01:02:52Tonek
01:02:53Tonek
01:02:53half-decent ball in there
01:02:55Yang with the header
01:02:56but
01:02:56he'll need to chase that
01:02:58and try and keep it in himself
01:02:59but
01:02:59Ryldale
01:03:01lets it go
01:03:02I'm sure Martin O'Neill
01:03:03we just want the three points
01:03:04but goal difference
01:03:04is something that might come into this
01:03:07at the end of the season
01:03:08and it's not in Celtic's favour
01:03:10at the moment going into this game
01:03:12Celtic get a goal difference of plus 26
01:03:14hearts are in plus 31
01:03:16and Rangers in plus 34
01:03:19yeah you're right won the game
01:03:20but I think the message at half-time will be
01:03:22this is an opportunity
01:03:24to keep pushing on
01:03:25see if we can get
01:03:27some more goals in this second half
01:03:32minute and a half of the
01:03:34three added
01:03:35already played
01:03:39Yang heads up back
01:03:40to Johnson
01:03:41gives it back to Yang
01:03:42midway inside the
01:03:43Celtic half
01:03:44Celtic haven't been in their own half
01:03:47for much
01:03:48of this first half
01:03:49it's all been played
01:03:50in the Hibs half
01:03:51and that's a loose ball there
01:03:52from
01:03:53Scales
01:03:53gives it straight
01:03:57to Hibs
01:03:58and it goes
01:03:58free kick
01:03:59and it'll go against
01:04:01Tenetke
01:04:02not for you Simon
01:04:03No, just very soft
01:04:05he knows he's lost the ball
01:04:06and he's played for it
01:04:07but it's
01:04:07it's careless from Scales
01:04:08initially
01:04:10I think he just falls
01:04:11yeah
01:04:11soft
01:04:12but now we have to
01:04:13defend
01:04:14potentially
01:04:15dangerous situation
01:04:18yeah
01:04:18Heldink
01:04:19had lost the ball
01:04:20and he knew the challenge
01:04:21was coming free kick
01:04:22to Hibsden
01:04:23perhaps the last action of this
01:04:26first half
01:04:27as Cadent
01:04:28goes across to take Celtic
01:04:29lining up on that
01:04:3018 yard line
01:04:31Bashiri
01:04:32obviously one of the targets
01:04:34in there with his
01:04:34height and strength
01:04:36it's a convincing punch though
01:04:37from Sinisalo
01:04:38and it's good goalkeeping
01:04:42back in it comes though
01:04:43into a dangerous position
01:04:44headed out
01:04:47still
01:04:47Hibs have it
01:04:48cross to the back post
01:04:50headed back in there
01:04:52and it's a chance for Newell
01:04:53and Hibs
01:04:53would you believe it
01:04:55have scored
01:04:55right at the end of this
01:04:57fourth half
01:04:58it's poked into the back of the net
01:05:00by Joe Newell
01:05:00that is an absolute disaster
01:05:03for Celtic
01:05:04Simon
01:05:04yeah as
01:05:05as it comes from the
01:05:06the careless bit of play
01:05:08minutes ago
01:05:09when we're in possession
01:05:10not even
01:05:11defending that there
01:05:12I think
01:05:12is it Johnson
01:05:13headers it
01:05:14back into the game
01:05:15is it Negrin?
01:05:17yeah
01:05:17one of the Celtic players
01:05:19at the back post here
01:05:20yeah Johnson I think
01:05:21well they're both there
01:05:22he gets help back in
01:05:24yeah it's Negrin
01:05:25just headed it out for the corner
01:05:28and it comes back in
01:05:29and it's a really messy goal
01:05:33yeah Negrin
01:05:33then it comes off the head of Trusty
01:05:35and just lands at the feet of
01:05:37of Newell
01:05:38who does well to poke it home
01:05:40but
01:05:40he takes it well
01:05:41but it's a bad goal from
01:05:42Celtic's point of view
01:05:43and it
01:05:44again it comes from
01:05:45has been in possession
01:05:46with 30 seconds to half time
01:05:50listen it's a warning
01:05:51listen you might as well
01:05:52get a warning
01:05:53if you're going to get one
01:05:54get one early enough in the game
01:05:55but
01:05:57you're never
01:05:58home and dry
01:05:59despite the
01:06:02advantage in possession
01:06:04you're ahead
01:06:04one careless bit of play
01:06:06and you can just invite the opposition
01:06:10into a goal scoring opportunity
01:06:14and they're checking it
01:06:16possible offside
01:06:17oh
01:06:18oh
01:06:18we'll keep our fingers crossed
01:06:21I thought if anything they would have been
01:06:22maybe looking at handball
01:06:24which I don't think it is
01:06:25as it just comes down off Newell
01:06:27I don't think there's
01:06:28any more
01:06:30football to be played
01:06:31in this first half
01:06:32have Hibs got themselves level
01:06:38and I think the goal's been chopped off
01:06:42waiting for confirmation
01:06:44is it off the hat
01:06:45and it's hit his hand
01:06:46it's hit his hand
01:06:47it's hit his hand
01:06:47possibly
01:06:48yeah offside
01:06:49possible offside
01:06:50just as it comes down before he
01:06:54pokes at goalwards
01:06:55they still await the decision now
01:06:56they're looking for the handball
01:06:57I don't think they're going to get it
01:06:59for the handball
01:06:59his arm was by his side but
01:07:01it did lead to a goal
01:07:03sometimes the threshold
01:07:05isn't quite as high
01:07:07yeah
01:07:08isn't as high
01:07:09referee waits for the instructions
01:07:10you might have to go and look at this one
01:07:13real drama
01:07:14at the end of the first half at Easter Road
01:07:17Celtic going in level
01:07:19or ahead
01:07:22everyone waits with bated breath
01:07:36so I think initially they checked for offside
01:07:38that was okay
01:07:39they're now checking for a handball
01:07:40I think that's what frustrates everybody
01:07:43they check for one
01:07:44and they check for the next
01:07:45then they check for the next
01:07:49yeah I hope they keep checking
01:07:50yeah the goal stands
01:07:53after all that
01:07:54the goal stands
01:07:54Celtic will go in at half time
01:07:56level
01:07:56and a half
01:07:57that they have completely dominated
01:08:00got the man advantage
01:08:01got the goal advantage
01:08:02but
01:08:05I really
01:08:06just think Negrin has to
01:08:07header that out for the corner
01:08:10it's the end of the first half
01:08:12Celtic were
01:08:14well
01:08:15really masters of their own downfall
01:08:17at the end there
01:08:17in possession
01:08:18gave it away
01:08:20gave the
01:08:21free kick away
01:08:22and then couldn't defend
01:08:23the ball into the box
01:08:24so that man there
01:08:25Dyson Maeda got Celtic in front
01:08:27deservedly so
01:08:28but Joe Newell
01:08:28the Hibs captain
01:08:29has got the home side level
01:08:32Celtic will need to win it all again
01:08:34in the second half
01:08:35but
01:08:36plenty of time
01:08:37and lots of firepower
01:08:39both on the pitch and on the bench
01:08:41for Celtic
01:08:42to do the business
01:08:43at half time here at Easter Road
01:08:44it's Hibs 1
01:08:45Celtic 1
01:09:00and here's a chance for Celtic
01:09:02oh Edward just took his eye off that one
01:09:04as the
01:09:04the ball came to him
01:09:06and perhaps Hibs on the break
01:09:07but it's well broken up by Scott Brown
01:09:08Edward playing it into space for Bork
01:09:10what an early chance for Celtic
01:09:12Oli Bork there
01:09:12can Sinclair follow up
01:09:14it comes off the defender
01:09:15and out I think for the corner kick
01:09:17on this near side
01:09:18oh in fact
01:09:19Willie Collins giving the
01:09:20the goal kick
01:09:21but what an early start there
01:09:23for Oli Bork in Scott Sinclair
01:09:27Celtic captain
01:09:28driving forward
01:09:29it's a nice pass inside
01:09:30to Forrest
01:09:31what can he do?
01:09:32he can give it to Edward
01:09:33it's a great chance for Edward
01:09:34and he's lost his footing
01:09:36but still Celtic have it
01:09:37James Forrest on the volley
01:09:39comes off McGregor
01:09:40oh what a chance that was
01:09:42for Edward
01:09:42but I think he just
01:09:43got his foot caught in the turf
01:09:45before he
01:09:46got the shot away
01:09:56there's odds on Edward
01:09:57and now Kieran Tierney
01:09:58in some space
01:09:59on the left hand side
01:10:00it's a great ball
01:10:01and Marciano comes out
01:10:02and does well
01:10:03to punch that one clear
01:10:04Oli Bork in the follow up
01:10:06and his volley was over the bar
01:10:08and a really good chance
01:10:09a great cross from Tierney
01:10:11maybe a little bit too close
01:10:12to the goalkeeper
01:10:13but Marciano
01:10:14you have to credit him
01:10:15with a good save
01:10:23Ayer again
01:10:24cuts inside
01:10:25tries to find the space
01:10:26finds Edward
01:10:27and a little bit of space
01:10:28but he's quickly closed down
01:10:29Forrest now
01:10:30options ahead of him
01:10:31one on the left hand side
01:10:33is Tierney
01:10:34first time cross
01:10:34is a searching one
01:10:35high to the far side
01:10:36no takers
01:10:37Oli Bork chases this one back
01:10:39and does well
01:10:40and Lustig has it
01:10:42now Forrest
01:10:4325 yards from goal
01:10:45in a central position
01:10:46cuts back onto his right foot
01:10:47does well
01:10:48can he get the shot away
01:10:49he can
01:10:51OHHHHH
01:10:51YES
01:10:54what a goal
01:10:55from James Forrest
01:10:5961 minutes gone
01:11:00James Forrest
01:11:01picked up the ball
01:11:0225 yards from goal
01:11:0425 yards from goal
01:11:05he cut back onto his right foot
01:11:06he made the space for the shot
01:11:09and what a shot it was
01:11:11high pass Marciano
01:11:13into the top right hand corner
01:11:15of the goal
01:11:17and Celtic have the lead
01:11:19we spoke in the first half
01:11:20Jerry about
01:11:21half chances that Celtic have created
01:11:23it didn't seem like there was much on
01:11:25James Forrest as soon as the ball left his foot though
01:11:27from our angle
01:11:28you knew it was going in
01:11:29I think he knew himself
01:11:31he takes one look at the goal
01:11:32and he's already
01:11:33half celebrating
01:11:35Marciano's played well
01:11:35he's a great save in the first half
01:11:37but there is no way he was stopping that
01:11:39that is a fantastic goal
01:11:40Celtic worthy of the lead
01:11:42but an absolute cracker from James Forrest
01:11:52oh Scott Brown does well
01:11:54now Edward's one on one
01:11:55and he's past the last man
01:11:56across comes Hanlon
01:11:57but Edward's through
01:11:58can he cut inside
01:11:59he's onto his left foot
01:12:00Hanlon
01:12:00with a good challenge there on Edward
01:12:03who picks up the return
01:12:04it's a good pass to Scott Brown
01:12:05what can he do
01:12:06and Scott Brown
01:12:08files one high
01:12:09into the roof of the net
01:12:11he's done it again
01:12:12captain fantastic

01:12:33it never rains but it pours Gerry
01:12:35and Scott Brown

01:12:42what a fantastic goal
01:12:44Odds and Edward

01:12:46that won the initial ball
01:12:47Odds and Edward
01:12:48is sharp on to the break
01:12:49it's a good tackle
01:12:50from Paul Hanlon
01:12:51but Odds and Edward
01:12:52doesn't give up
01:12:53he gets the ball out wide

01:13:03the final whistle goes here
01:13:05at Easter Road
01:13:06Brendan Rodgers
01:13:07didn't manage to do it
01:13:08in his time at Celtic
01:13:09and Neil Lennon has done it
01:13:11at the first time of asking
01:13:13on his return
01:13:14namely
01:13:15win at Easter Road
01:13:16what an important week it has been
01:13:18the win at Tynecastle
01:13:19kept Celtic
01:13:20eight points clear
01:13:21at the top of the table
01:13:22and the win here today
01:13:23at Easter Road
01:13:24means
01:13:25dare I say it
01:13:26the treble is still on
01:13:32Maeda
01:13:33seeing a lot of possession
01:13:35taking on Cardin
01:13:36and a one on one there
01:13:37Maeda
01:13:37difficult ball across
01:13:39Aaron Moy
01:13:39with his first goal
01:13:40for Celtic
01:13:42look what it means to him
01:13:4527 minutes gone
01:13:46great work from Dyson Maeda
01:13:48and Aaron Moy
01:13:49with the opening goal
01:13:50brilliant play
01:13:52down the left hand side
01:13:53this is why Maeda's in the team
01:13:55selfless walk
01:13:57he's put a couple into this dangerous area
01:14:00you know what he's going to do
01:14:01with the pace
01:14:03more than willing to come in the outside
01:14:05nice little clip
01:14:06breaking the ball there
01:14:07it falls at Moy's feet
01:14:08and it's a great finish
01:14:11yeah I'm sure Moy couldn't believe that
01:14:13when that was dropping down
01:14:14but he powered in that half volley
01:14:17that all the credit goes to Dyson Maeda
01:14:19for that one
01:14:21he's plugged away down that left hand side
01:14:24positive play Jerry
01:14:25just willing to go on the outside
01:14:27thrust his weaker foot probably
01:14:29puts the ball into a dangerous area
01:14:31we get the break of the ball
01:14:32that's a decent finish
01:14:51Maeda
01:14:53it's a good effect
01:14:53oh the space has opened up for him
01:14:55oh he's going for goal
01:14:56and it's absolutely stunning from Dyson Maeda
01:15:01stunning
01:15:02ten minutes left in the half
01:15:04and the space just opened up ahead
01:15:07of the Japanese forward
01:15:09and as soon as he saw the space
01:15:11he went for the colour
01:15:13and the finishes don't come much better than that
01:15:16terrific
01:15:17absolutely terrific
01:15:18it opens up for him as you say Jerry
01:15:20but he's still got to execute it
01:15:22what a strike
01:15:25and if anybody has given him a little bit of stick
01:15:28after he's missed
01:15:29sixty seconds or so before
01:15:31what a finish that is
01:15:33well Dyson Maeda
01:15:34has stepped up tonight
01:15:36he's been Celtic's best player
01:15:46three and a half minutes
01:15:48the first half to go
01:15:50shot there from Hanlon
01:15:51I think it was Hatati
01:15:53I think they got a flick on that one
01:15:55yeah
01:15:55flipped it into the path of Hanlon
01:15:57his shot came off the path
01:15:58they came off the post
01:15:59he had two half beaten
01:16:07Taylor
01:16:08get the run from Maeda
01:16:10what a pass
01:16:10what a pick out
01:16:11oh and the pass across the face of the goal
01:16:14from Dyson Maeda
01:16:15penalty kick to Celtic
01:16:18and that's the unselfish side of Maeda
01:16:20what a pass though
01:16:21it's a great pass
01:16:23inside the full back
01:16:25from Greg Taylor
01:16:27I think he should
01:16:28open up and take it on his right
01:16:29he tries to pick out
01:16:30Kyoko
01:16:31yeah there's the handball off Stevenson
01:16:33that was a penalty kick
01:16:36that looks like
01:16:37it's gonna be
01:16:38Aaron Moy
01:16:40well he's got his first
01:16:42no Juranovic
01:16:43no Yakumakis
01:16:44Aaron Moy says
01:16:44I fancy this
01:16:45well we know he can hit the ball well
01:16:47is it going to be two for Moy
01:16:49he said the next goal would be crucial
01:16:52and here's a chance to grab it
01:16:54Moy from the spot
01:16:56no problem for Aaron Moy
01:16:59he makes it a Moy double
01:17:01and Celtic
01:17:02of three
01:17:05Cuelly slotted
01:17:06Aaron Moy
01:17:08takes his tally to two
01:17:10now hunting down the hat trick
01:17:14great to Roy
01:17:31oh brilliant from McGregor
01:17:33brilliant from Carla McGregor
01:17:35now Hattate
01:17:36what a pass to Kyoko on the right foot
01:17:38back on to the left
01:17:40Kyoko
01:17:40with a classy finish
01:17:43makes it
01:17:44Hibs
01:17:440
01:17:44Celtic 4
01:17:47different class
01:17:49the pass
01:17:50the take
01:17:51the disguise
01:17:51the finish
01:17:54superb goal
01:18:04yeah
01:18:20you'd have forgiven him for hitting it there but
01:18:22he knew if he just dragged it back onto his left he could just
01:18:25side foot that one under David Marshall
01:18:29and if Celtic were out of sight by three
01:18:32no they're just loving it at four
01:18:42Celtic coming forward
01:18:43Yakimakis on the inside left channel
01:18:47against Bashiri
01:18:48lays it back to O'Reilly
01:18:49almost the first goal of the season
01:18:51for Matt O'Reilly
01:18:53but David Marshall
01:18:54with the left glove
01:18:57kept that one out
