That's what I think as well.
We've got a good record against them at Easter Road since coming back up, so we have a chance.

Looking like mucho Sunshine on Leith
Yesterday's Huns result will make them want to win, but I think we have enough to at least take a point, if not 3!!!
Must be in their faces and at the races from the off. Especially in wide areas, we need to defend from the front and stop them from getting up a head of steam. If Forrest et al are allowed to motor through the gears then it'll be Goodnight Saigon for our chances.
Agyepong and Gauld back on the bench. Same team as Tynie.

This is all about what Hecky learned from the first game. We sat off and gave Celtic far too much time and room on the ball, did not lay a glove on them. One of the poorest performances against the OF in a few years. Hibs success has been closing them down and causing problems for thru back line , which is their weakness. Stubbs and Lennon knew that. Hecky has to be more attacking this time otherwise result will be inevitable. We are a better drilled unit than when we last played them, so we have a chance .
1-2 to the lesser greens today!

Watching Celtic yesterday and how poor they were Hearts might have a chance in that cup final. :panic:
Aberdeen said similar before the semi.
I think Celtic always do well at Hampden, perhaps because it's so familiar, perhaps the big pitch?
Regardless, Hearts la k creativity and unless Naismith does a Lazarus before the final, the tactics will remain "hoof to Uche" which will be mopped up easily be Celtics defence.
We are a good team, that's why Celtic didn't look amazing yesterday.
Interesting to note Lennon turning it back onto the players as he used to do with us. Meanwhile Hecky picks up Lennon's mess and gets on with it. Makes you think.
I thought Hibs were good. They had Celtic on the run.
