Which Scottish team will finally beat Celtic?

[theonlywayisup]

So, which team do you think it will be?

They were pretty close in losing today, but got the draw. I think whoever plays then after an away Champions League game will have a chance.

The names in the poll are in the order that they play a Scottish team.

[theonlywayisup]

Obviously most will go for the Hibees, or The Rangers or Aberdeen. But it could be a surprise defeat by one of the poorer footballing teams, such as Hamilton, Killie or Hertz.

Someone has to beat them!!!

[Jack Hackett]

The other teams in the league have proven inadequate. It's up to Hibs now :greengrin

[theonlywayisup]

Who voted The Rangers?

[theonlywayisup]

Interesting that the Hibs play Celtic in September and December, both times after they've played Anderlecht in midweek. Could these be the games that they lose?

[Lancs Harp]

Who voted The Rangers?

Andy Halliday. Well known Hibs.net poster.

[#2 Double Tap]

we are the only ones they haveny played......we have lennon.....easy 3 pts.....

yes i am pissed. but we got them easy.

[Hibs Class]

I'd be surprised if anyone beats them before they meet us.

[Diclonius]

Aberdeen or Rangers.

[Albanian Hibs]

Hibs

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Aberdeen or The Rangers probably.

Aberdeen are clearly the 2nd best side in the country and The Rangers due to the intensity of the Old Firm game, not cause they are particularly any good.

[SirDavidsNapper]

One of the stragglers will beat them i reckon. Killie, Hearts or Motherwell.

[Onceinawhile]

Us. Their unbeaten streak doesn't have any legitimacy until they beat us.

[Hulk1875]

Controversial.. You should have an option of none.. unbeaten again this year. Nah in seriousness I'd say us Aberdeen or rangers at home

[hibbydog]

I have a funny feeling Aberdeen will do it. I'd fancy ourselves with an outside chance if we get them at Easter road when they've been playing in Europe midweek.

Celtics record is a chuffing embarrassment to scotttish football. Our lack of competitiveness has always been a problem but when a 2 horse race loses a horse....

[theonlywayisup]

Well someone is going to beat them and I didn't put a time end date to this, so "none" is not an option. They have to lose sometime, I hope!

[overdrive]

Whoever plays them after the Anderlecht away game.

[Stoney Hibee]

Us. Their unbeaten streak doesn't have any legitimacy until they beat us.

:top marks:not worth

Will be on us, no doubt

:hibees

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Probably The Rangers. Just because anything can happen in that game. Sometimes you even get a football song.

[Pretty Boy]

Who knows?

Celtic have proven over the last couple of seasons they have that ability to turn a defeat into a draw and a draw into a win. If Celtic play to their best (or close to it) then no one in the league is capable of beating them; that may not be popular, it may be sad but it's true. Any team who beats needs Celtic to have an off day and be at their own best. Best chance is probably off the back of a European trip (as St Johnstone almost proved yesterday).

Hopefully it can be Hibs but that's hope more than any expectation.

[Sioux]

Probably The Rangers. Just because anything can happen in that game. Sometimes you even get a football song.

You were doing ok until the last bit.

[Northernhibee]

I think it'll be an Arbroath, Forfar, Stenhousemuir sort of team in the cup. They'll put out a weakened team and underestimate them.

[wookie70]

Only chance in reality is just before a CL match when they play a weekend team or just after when they are shattered. We have a chance of the just after and are as likely as any other team

[ancient hibee]

Us. Their unbeaten streak doesn't have any legitimacy until they beat us.

I didn't know you posted on here Mr.King.


Aberdeen always seem to fold against them so I go for Rangers.

[NAE NOOKIE]

I went for Aberdeen ..... they have had a good start to the season and would have to fancy their chances at Pittodrie. After that I would probably have to think Hibs at ER after Celtic have played in Europe. But the truth is we haven't played a team of Celtic's quality in over 3 years and it depends what Hibs turn up .... If we started a game against Celtic the way we did against Partick and the Huns we would be 2 down in 20 minutes and that's a conservative estimate. Play like we did against Hamilton and we would be looking at out worst defeat in years :confused:

[theonlywayisup]

Dundee in the cup, then The Rangers on Sunday - both away games for Celtic.

Will it be one of these games that Celtic finally lose to a Scottish team?

[Mikey]

Hibs, November 26th.

[Deansy]

WTF voted for the Hun ? :confused:

[ekhibee]

I think it's hard to see them getting beat at all this season TBH, it'd be great if it was us but with our current defensive line up I can't see it. Would love to be proven wrong though obviously. Not been that impressed with Aberdeen, Sevco look good going forward but really poor at the back. Hearts aren't nearly strong enough to trouble the likes of Celtic IMO, so I suppose St Johnstone would have as good a shout as any, although they traditionally have a dip in form somewhere along the line.

[heretoday]

WTF voted for the Hun ? :confused:

Presumably someone who thinks they could pull off a win over the Celts.
They've a better chance than most.

[OsloHibs]

I can't vote in this. But. I did put money on the Rangers beating them!!!!!!! Wtf. I blame the early snowfall🙈

[ajf]

Don't know who beat them last ? But its surprising how many times its that team which finishes the run .

[Diclonius]

St Johnstone.

[Firestarter]

Dundee in the cup, then The Rangers on Sunday - both away games for Celtic.

No, they will skelp them both. Especially after McCanns comments today.

[ajf]

St Johnstone.

Then I'll vote St Johnstone , :aok:

[Betty Boop]

WTF voted for the Hun ? :confused:
Me how ? What's your problem ?

[Firestarter]

Me how ? What's your problem ?

Give you 5/1 for them Saturday? :greengrin seriously though they have the best shot I suppose.

[KeithTheHibby]

I think it will be us a week on Saturday and will be having a couple of quid on it.

The return of Lennon, Stokes and Ambrose add a bit more to the game.

[Sir David Gray]

I can't see them losing any time soon to another Scottish team.

[theonlywayisup]

Think that must have been Celtic's hardest game against a Scottish team for a long time. Three weeks today we'll get another chance to beat them.

[emerald green]

Hibs came within a baw hair today. Annoying to concede so soon after taking the lead.

[theonlywayisup]

:hmmm:

I wonder, will it be on Saturday that a Scottish team will finally beat Celtic?

:pray:

[theonlywayisup]

Could it be tonight? Or will Celtic grab an equaliser?

[givescotlandfreedom]

Hard to beat them when they've got the refs too.

[Lancs Harp]

It is our destiny.

[007]

After Sunday's and now tonight's penalty dives their unbeaten run can be considered as already finished. Anything from here on is as valid as Rangers' EBT trophies.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Could it be tonight? Or will Celtic grab an equaliser?

I had a score on an embarassing aberdeen team tonight, then chucked a 10er on Celtic @ 2s not to lose after Motherwell scored, nae harm done. Felt quite dirty for doing it though.

[Thecat23]

I honestly think Hibs will beat them.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

I honestly think Hibs will beat them.

I thought after the last league performance that we could possibly take them at ER

[Steve20]

Probably no one, as it seems you’re not allowed to beat them. That was one of the most scandalous penalty decisions I’ve seen in a long time.

[JimBHibees]

Probably no one, as it seems you’re not allowed to beat them.

Well at least 3 days at least, :rolleyes:

[CL0762]

I honestly think Hibs will beat them.

I’ve been convinced by this since the start of the season, no idea why.

I think we’ll take them at ER.

[Albanian Hibs]

I honestly think Hibs will beat them.

Me too

[BoomtownHibees]

I honestly think Hibs will beat them.

I think they will get to 67 (which has been their celebration the year for 1967) and then get beat.

Guess who they play in their 68th game 😎

[frazeHFC]

McGinn is key to beating them. I'm disappointed he's missing Saturday but I'm glad he won't have that ban looming over him for the rest of the tough December period.

[calumhibee1]

Probably no one, as it seems you’re not allowed to beat them. That was one of the most scandalous penalty decisions I’ve seen in a long time.

Likewise. Worst penalty decision I’ve seen since the one Celtic got on Sunday.

[Eyrie]

Likewise. Worst penalty decision I’ve seen since the one Celtic got on Sunday.

Even worse than the one they're going to get on Saturday?

[Firestarter]

I think their first loss will come at Parkhead down to complancency. I also think we will get our bellys tickled at ER due to us drawing there and last night. We are dangers to them, they will be well up for it.
I'm going for Ross County at Celtic park.

[emerald green]

Whoever does finally beat them will need to beat the referee too it seems.

[Green_one]

WTF voted for the Hun ? :confused:

I was tempted to put Hearts just to see the reaction :na na: but went for Hibs as I am old enough to recall Stanton and Baker doing Aberdeen's record on not conceeding / losing. Great day.

[theonlywayisup]

Next up - the Hibees.

A packed Easter Road, a noisy home crowd - we can do it, we really can!

I feel we've given the Celtic two tough games and they will probably consider this to be one of their hardest games of the season. The 'bottlers' from the North couldn't beat them. The The Rangers are just not good enough. Motherwell did well enough but it's difficult playing against 12 players.

Now it's our turn again - can we do it?

:nlgwa:flag::nlgwa:flag::nlgwa

[hibbyfraelibby]

John Beaton on Sunday? He'll be like a dug with two tails...it's our time to shine.

[GORDONSMITH7]

Spot on amigo.

Kris Commoms prediction for Sunday on radio scotland, Hibernian 0 v Celtic 4

Hopefully this can filter through to East Mains and motivate the players. :greengrin

[itslegaltender]

Kris Commons can GTF , said on Sportsound it was going to be 0-4 to the tic this Sunday.

[Smartie]

Commons possibly taking the piss out of his pal Lennon?

This will be one of Celtic's most challenging games of the season and they will know it. Nobody expected them to get much out of Bayern or PSG, they are fighting to protect a proud unbeaten record against us.

We have a solid defence, a threat up front, a solid midfield and pace out wide. We'll be cheered on by a big, noisy crowd.

Like any game against the Old Firm (back when that's what they were) we'll need to be on top of our game, Celtic will need to be a bit off theirs and we'll need to carry a bit of luck. 8 times out of 10 they beat us, but we need to make sure that this is one of those 2 games.

I don't fear Celtic and I'm quite looking forward to it. If we lose, we lose.

[Danderhall Hibs]

I reckon we’ll do it and end their run on 67, which I’d imagine they’ll be happy with. Could sell even more merchandise with that.

[Ronniekirk]

We didn't beat them on the previous two occasions this Season Third time Lucky

[Souter96Mac]

I'm thinking 2-0 Hibs.

[Pretty Boy]

I'm wary of this game against Celtic because we (fans) seem to be going in too confident. I've heard people saying things like 'we have proved we have the beating of Celtic' which is patently nonsense. I think there's a bit of an overconfidence amongst some and a belief that beating them is somehow inevitable.

Don't get me wrong I don't think Celtic will be particularly relishing playing us as we have made life difficult for them twice. They have a habit of finding another gear when they need it domestically though and we are in for our toughest home game of the season by a distance. We can beat Celtic but if we don't I won't be particularly surprised.

[Firestarter]

I can't stomach Leigh scoring against us at ER.

[SChibs]

Hate to be negative but I really hope we don't get embarrassed by them on Sunday. On their day Celtic are capable of scoring lots of goals against teams in this league. That being said I think we are in with a chance of we play our best and they have an off day

[Eyrie]

Talking with some Celtc fans today their performance last night was abysmal. I have a nasty feeling that we'll get caught by the back lash.

They have a habit of finding penalties when they need them too

[Captain Trips]

It all ends for them on Sunday with a 92nd minute winner for 2-1 Hibs.

Given the depth and quality of their squad, Celtic should be winning almost every domestic game by that sort of margin.

They don't though so I'll take my chances on Sunday.

They should win the game if they play anywhere near their best but I'm hopeful.

[heretoday]

Through Craig Gordon's legs!

[Firestarter]

Through Craig Gordon's legs!

Off Broonys shins through his legs.

[Greentinted]

Obviously a touch of the Hibs defiance but I have fancied us to be the club that ends their run. We have a squad and management team imbued with a ‘big game’ attitude and I reckon the occasion will take care of itself with the home team prevailing by the odd goal in five.

[green day]

Stokes last minute pen. You heard it here first.

[Bristolhibby]

That would be the cringiest merch possible.

Can I have two t-shirts and a tie please.

Griffiths to come off the bench and turn it in to his own net in the last min😁
