Celtic 3-0 Hibernian: Have your say

Must read

[BBC]

Celtic overcame a wasteful Hibernian side at Parkhead to move nine points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

Arne Engel’s first half tap-in, before Joe Newell’s own goal and Kyogo’s delightful dink after the break, made it seven successive league wins for Brendan Rodgers’ side.

The visitors spurned several clear-cut chances in a first half where they found some joy against Celtic’s high defensive line.

Mykola Kuharevich was twice denied one-on-one with Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, and Newell blazed over the bar when unmarked inside the box.

Hibs’ profligacy continued after they fell two behind, with Schmeichel denying Elie Youan and Nicky Cadden in quick succession before Lewis Miller headed straight at the Denmark international.

This is now Hibernian’s worst start to a top-flight season since the 1979-80 season, when they finished bottom of the league and were relegated.

Hibs fans, were you at Celtic Park or were you following along from home? Either way, we want your thoughts.

Have your say on the game.
