Hibs v Celtic

[SHODAN]

Not here tonight as I'm preparing for an interview. Win guaranteed.

[Hiber-nation]

Miller in for Cadden, JDH in for Campbell.

[Unseen work]

352 I think

………………….Marshall………..

……..……CJ…….Fish……Hanlon….

Miller….JDH…Jeggo…Newell…Stevenson….

……………..Nisbet…..Youan……

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Nice to see LJ look at my thread post earlier:

St Mirren really pressed their wing backs high up the pitch which really disrupted their flow of attack. Ideally I’d love to just have a go at them. Why not?

Marsh

CJ
Fish
Hanlon

Miller
Jeggo
Newell
JDH
Stevenson

Nisbet
Youan

[Brightside]

I assumed 4231.

Nothing to lose! Get Youan between centre back and fullback and exploit that space

[Unseen work]

You’d be a bit fuming if you’re Miller.

Chucked in out the blue last time against Celtic and played really well.

Dropped for the next game, hardly played a minute since and starting again

Hopefully he’s right mentally for it and not thinking it’s irrelevant how he plays as he’ll be dropped for the next

[H18 SFR]

I assumed 4231.

After St Mirren’s overwhelming success at the weekend I’m sure he will go 3-5-2

St Mirren’s wing backs were really successful.

Or maybe he is excited and pumped to be getting a start! 🙄

Who are the wide players in the 3 if you’re right?

[HendoDelivered]

Miller will have a good game tonight I think.

[shamo9]

Far too sensible a take. You don't belong here:greengrin

[Unseen work]

Or maybe he is excited and pumped to be getting a start! 🙄

Maybe, but I’ve been in plenty changing rooms when players have that sort of attitude.

Right enough not at Hibs level though 🤣

Couple of players on Open goal interviews have mentioned it too when they feel like they won’t start the following game

[Brightside]

After St Mirren’s overwhelming success at the weekend I’m sure he will go 3-5-2

St Mirren’s wing backs were really successful.

But playing ER at CB again. LJ said he wouldn’t do that and he’s got 2 CBs on the bench. Which is kind of typical

[Unseen work]

Celtic team;

………………..Bain…….

Ralston….Kobayashi…Starfelt…..Bernabei….

………….Hatate…McGregor….Iwata….

Abada………………………………………..Haksabanovic….

……………………………Oh…………


Get the ball forward, bypass the midfield and get pressure on that defence and keeper

[CapitalGreen]

But playing ER at CB again. LJ said he wouldn’t do that and he’s got 2 CBs on the bench. Which is kind of typical

Was he referring to a back 3?

[H18 SFR]

He said CB in a back four. Tonight wouldn’t contradict that.

[Mikey_1875]

3-5-2 seems most likely but I wouldn’t rule out just a straight swap with Miller playing right wing and same formation as the weekend.

[H18 SFR]

3-5-2 seems most likely but I wouldn’t rule out just a straight swap with Miller playing right wing and same formation as the weekend.

There is every chance of the later to be fair. I just wonder if he’s watched st mirren having success and felt we use the same game plan.

[Tambo]

Wanted to see Egan-Riley and Jeggo behind Newell.

Livescore.com has it as a 4-1-4-1 with JDH for Campbell and Miller for Cadden.

Just noticed they have already posted the team on twitter and there was me refreshing Google waiting 😆

Mon the Hibs, let's get the 3 points.

[Smartie]

Was it not a bit unconventional at Celtic Park, with JDH being fairly advanced, and likely to be something similar again?

[Unseen work]

As others have said, wouldn’t totally surprise me if it is our normal shape.

Think Johnson would like the idea of shelling balls to Miller so he can dominate Bernabei in the air

[Tambo]

Cadden could be a useful sub for some tired legs, if we are Still in the game.

Not sure what to expect? We have been inconsistent again recently so we might put in a great performance tonight after the weekend.

[Widhibs]

Kyogo, Jota, Maeda, Hart on bench, got a chance here. Get in about them early before big guns would come on.

[Hibees1973]

6 changes in the Celtic team.

Can Johnson get an organised, disciplined and attacking performance out of our lot.

Been a while since I can remember such a lamentable set of performances and pathetic results we have had against Celtic across one season.

Going tonight and tbh a bit disheartened about us at the moment. Can't come up with any logic on how we can even scrape a point tonight. My attention focusing on the mighty St Mirren not overtaking us.

[Jim44]

It’ll be great if we get anything out of tonight’s game, but, realistically in the bigger picture, eyes will be on Aberdeen doing the business against St Mirren. St Mirren gave Celtic a fright at the weekend but I hope their boat has sailed.

St Mirren will be well up for this one Aberdeen haven’t won in last two games so I don’t see them beating st Mirren especially if they play like they did against us

[Mikey_1875]

Setting up 3-5-2 in the warm up

[BlackSheep]

For those of us that couldn’t make it there’s PPV worldwide on offer….

…but what time does the feed start?

[Bridge hibs]

St Mirren will be well up for this one Aberdeen haven’t won in last two games so I don’t see them beating st Mirren especially if they play like they did against us

They have Shinnie and Duk back, guaranteed penalty for the sheep tonight

[DaveF]

Good of Hibs to play the segment for those fans who have passed early when next to no one is in the ground.

I know it'll be on the YouTube channel later but FFS could they not have waited a bit longer?

[SteveHFC]

I think they did it at half time last season as well.

[Pretty Boy]

Pretty classy from Postecoglu. Applauded Daz and encouraged their bench to do likewise.

[cabbageandribs1875]

someone has asked for a clap on 78 mins for someone who's passed away

just incase anyone is wondering

[Pagan Hibernia]

Where is everybody? Place seems a bit empty

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Don't like us in a back 5 (under LJ) loved how we've utilised in past

Promising first minute but celtic had all the ball since

[Unseen work]

Interesting the back three is

Fish Hanlon CJ

And not

CJ Fish Hanlon

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Youan must be so frustrating to play alongside. Never know when he's going to pass or try take everyone on

[Lago]

Where is everybody? Place seems a bit empty
Saving their money for the summer holidays :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

Celtic moving the ball very slickly around our box. When it's 1 touch we can't get near them.

A few decent opportunities on the break for us though.

[Northernhibee]

This has been poor so far.

[Hibs90]

Matter of time

[Pretty Boy]

Great play by Hibs there, some save by Bain.

[CMac1988]

Unlucky. Good work. Part of me wishes we shot right away given how far Bain was off his line.

[Pretty Boy]

And again. Youan across the face but offside anyway.

Much better.

[cabbageandribs1875]

youan through but misses the target

given offside anyway

[Pagan Hibernia]

This has been poor so far.

I think we’ve been decent

[CMac1988]

Would've been offside. Should've put the ball in the net though.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

I think we’ve been decent

Off the ball so poor. Sitting off. But feel like we've got a goal or 2 in us when going forward

[J-C]

Jeez Youan, offside or not you have to hit the target or make the keeper save it.

[Pretty Boy]

Youan needs to wake up defensively. Two short corners the man he has supposed to be covering has got the ball in mountains of space. Lucky to survive that one.

Fish and Marshall let him know after the last one and then some.

[J-C]

Off the ball so poor. Sitting off. But feel like we've got a goal or 2 in us when going forward

Celtic back line not looking great but as you say, giving them too much space.

[Vault Boy]

We just can’t keep possession

[cameronw-hfc]

Lewis Miller consistently looks decent yet never gets a chance. Odd

[cabbageandribs1875]

good block marshall

[Smartie]

Bain's finding himself miles off his line at times.

There's scope for a Czech vs Marshall goal here if the forwards stay switched on to the possibility.

[HendoDelivered]

Lewis Miller consistently looks decent yet never gets a chance. Odd

I reckon he will displace Cadden next season

[cameronw-hfc]

I reckon he will displace Cadden next season

That's if he's not asking to leave. I know he was injured first part of the season but he's been fit for months now and rarely gets a look in. Wouldn't surprise me if he's asking away

[cabbageandribs1875]

youan unlucky flick

offside again though

[CMac1988]

LS has a beautiful 1st touch. We're playing well here. Much better than the weekend.

[Smartie]

I'm quite happy with how we're playing here.

They play some nice stuff in possession but we've posed a decent threat on the break.

[cabbageandribs1875]

nice corner

not one hibs player gets on the end of it

[Unseen work]

Miller been very good in all aspects of the game. Off the ball, defensively and on the ball.

[Vault Boy]

I like Lewis Miller

[cabbageandribs1875]

St Mirren down to ten and getting beat

we're looking good for 5th now :)

[erin go bragh]

And again. Youan across the face but offside anyway.

Much better.

Looked well onside

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Bain playing really well, so a bonus if he goes off

[CMac1988]

I like Lewis Miller

Quick, athletic, hard working. Doing his duties at both ends of the park well.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

For those that can hear it better, how's the song book from the away end?

[blackpoolhibs]

Newell trying to be too clever there, just slip the ball through man. :grr:

[Pretty Boy]

For those that can hear it better, how's the song book from the away end?

Largely confined to the Green Brigade with a couple of exceptions. They are quiet. Usual songbook.

Penalty Celtic........

[Ronniekirk]

They have Shinnie and Duk back, guaranteed penalty for the sheep tonight
Forgot it was home game for sheep and given sheep one up those two players have helped

[cameronw-hfc]

Newell trying to be too clever there, just slip the ball through man. :grr:

It was the right try, not enough space to slide it through, the chip was the better option he just didn't get it right. Slide it through from there and the keeper comes and gets it imo

[cabbageandribs1875]

penalty sellick


lewis wipes out Mcgregor

[Pretty Boy]

Hate to say it but I think the ref has got that one right.

[CMac1988]

Looked a penalty to me.

[Heisenberg]

Stonewaller I think. Game over. 0-1.

[Unseen work]

Pen

Miller out of position and then Stevenson clatters McGregor trying to intercept the ball

[Ryan91]

penalty sellick


lewis wipes out Mcgregor

Ball was long gone by the time tackle goes in.

[cabbageandribs1875]

0-1

[MWHIBBIES]

Nisbet loses the ball, again, and Celtic score.

He's a nightmare honestly. Huffy child. Moaning at others to press, doing none of it himself. His laziness will hold him back.

[SaulGoodman]

Oh well

[DaveF]

Ball was long gone by the time tackle goes in.

That's what I thought. McGregor had a swipe at the ball, it's past him and then the challenge is made.

[Unseen work]

Only thing I thought was a potential offside.

Was wanting to see it again

[NC1875]

Game over. Get this season over and done with.

An absolute chore watching this Hibs team.

[SHODAN]

Over to you, Aberdeen...

[J-C]

Miller well caught out, Lewis last ditch challenge, pen

[HendoDelivered]

5th it is

[Aldo]

Can only hope St Mirren get pumped in Glasgow at weekend!

[Steve20]

Wasn’t a penalty imo. Sure the opinion of those saying defo penalty would have been saying different had we conceded the exact same this past weekend.

Celtic get as many decisions as their rivals.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Frustrating as we've had chances to be in front

[Pretty Boy]

Ball was long gone by the time tackle goes in.

Ultimately still a penalty though if the ball is in play.

[Heisenberg]

5th it is

We were never finishing anywhere but 5th/6th after the Aberdeen/Rangers results.

[Helensburghhibs]

Mcgregor let the ball run. It's so so soft. Without the tackle never affected him having the ball.

[Northernhibee]

Nisbet loses the ball, again, and Celtic score.

He's a nightmare honestly. Huffy child. Moaning at others to press, doing none of it himself. His laziness will hold him back.
Yep. Has a good run of form, begins to believe his own hype, attitude goes - rinse, lather, repeat.

[dmc1875]

People saying this is better must be at a different game to
Me. Celtic making mistakes have let us in a few times but this is the usual timid rubbish from Johnson’s Hibs

[NC1875]

5th it is

It was never anything more than 5th. Most teams step up and put in performances and win games when it matters. Not this Hibs team

[Aldo]

Frustrating as we've had chances to be in front

That Hibs all over this and probably past seasons…… not taking our bloody chances!

[Helensburghhibs]

File it right in the no chance it's given at the other end category

[Chorley Hibee]

5th it is

I wouldn't be so sure.

St Mirren only 2pts behind and fully expect the Huns to lie down to them at the weekend.

I'm resigned to 6th.

[Vault Boy]

The ball being gone makes the clumsiness of the challenge even sillier, it doesn’t mean it isn’t a foul.

[Smartie]

Shame, because we were doing well but we just don't seem to have it in us to eradicate the mistakes.

Poor stuff from Nisbet to lose it initially then we were carved open down our right side.

[Pretty Boy]

At least we still have the chance to stop Hearts getting 3rd.

From a financial point of view that's pretty important.

[blackpoolhibs]

2-0 Sheep

[Hibs90]

I wouldn't be so sure.

St Mirren only 2pts behind and fully expect the Huns to lie down to them at the weekend.

I'm resigned to 6th.

6th might see them pull the trigger on punting Johnson.

Actually no, he has the safest job in football.

[Torto7]

Another limp performance so far. Both St Mirren and the Gunts are causing the bigots problems. We just sit off them.

[Heisenberg]

The ball being gone makes the clumsiness of the challenge even sillier, it doesn’t mean it isn’t a foul.

Yeah that’s what I thought. He’s absolutely emptied him in the box and the ball is in play, definitely a penalty.

[madhatter]

Can see us finishing 6th.

Beyond first 20mins we've gifted them so much time and respect. Our midfield are so slow. JDH only one that was getting remotely close to opposition number but even he looks knackered now.

If it wasn't the derby I honestly would just have played a team filled with young players...

Season was over as soon as we got top 6. Had that feel back then and its ultimately proved to be the case.

[Callum_62]

Apart from beating St Mirren but let’s not get facts get in the way.

[Chorley Hibee]

Almost identical timing to the first Rangers goal at the weekend too.

Awful time to lose the first goal in these games.

[greenlex]

Lol. Miller should be the one with the booking there. Farce.
He’s deliberately blocked maedas run.

[Lago]

Probably be a blessing if Hibs missed out on any European football with this team.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Season petering out. Good start post split but the usual pish served up so far against the OF. Fully expect Celtic to get another 1 or 2 in the 2nd half.

Hearts will do us at the weekend as well

[Helensburghhibs]

Miller and Jdh doing well for me, I know killer was out of position for the goal but giving the ball away has killed him on the transition

[The Tubs]

Stick Cabraja on at half time. Give Lewis a break.

[Aldo]

At least we still have the chance to stop Hearts getting 3rd.

From a financial point of view that's pretty important.

Hopefully Sevco bet their act together and get their standard penalty and a dodgy controversial winner resigning them to 4th

[Paulie Walnuts]

Nisbet loses the ball, again, and Celtic score.

He's a nightmare honestly. Huffy child. Moaning at others to press, doing none of it himself. His laziness will hold him back.

Yeah, I don’t see it with Nisbet.

I’d say this is his level.

[Helensburghhibs]

We have also missed so many guilt edged chances when games are tight. The Nisbet header tonight at 0.0 should be getting buried

[blackpoolhibs]

Huns equalise

[Northernhibee]

Nisbet booked.

Id hook him at HT.

[cabbageandribs1875]

1-1 heartz

[J-C]

Why is Nisbet protesting, clearly a late tackle and a yellow.

[Heisenberg]

Much like the Rangers game we can’t get anywhere near them and when we do get the ball we can’t keep hold of it.

[SHODAN]

Is there a reason we've gone way over the six?

[CMac1988]

People saying this is better must be at a different game to
Me. Celtic making mistakes have let us in a few times but this is the usual timid rubbish from Johnson’s Hibs

It's not great but we've competed well which is something that was missing at the weekend. Bit too hot potato at times trying to get the ball forward quickly but JDH and Newell have won the ball a few times in midfield which is a few times more than they managed against Rangers.

Nisbet is doing bare minimum as usual waiting to get fortunate as opposed to making his own luck. Needs to work harder on the ball. Youan has went a bit quiet after a good start.

Defence had been good up until our fullbacks colluded to give away a cheap penalty.

Jeggo needs to offer more. Appreciate he's come in to do a specific job but he needs to give us something more.

[madhatter]

I can sometimes see Newell's quality in games but honestly he has been the most anonymous in midfield.

Doesn't turn up enough.

[cameronw-hfc]

Is there a reason we've gone way over the six?

We're playing celtic and they're only 1-0 up. Let them play as long as possible to kill the game, at least in the official's eyes

[Chorley Hibee]

At least we still have the chance to stop Hearts getting 3rd.

From a financial point of view that's pretty important.

No chance of this lot stepping up at Tynecastle I'm afraid.

Still as weak as piss, even against a Celtic reserve team on their holidays.

[Pretty Boy]

We need much more from the 2 up top. No outball at all so it keeps coming right back at us.

Nisbet is miles away from the level of Celtic team so if that is where his ambitions lie he might need to reassess.

[Smartie]

Is the pitch shorter than it used to be?

Seems to be more room behind the goals there than there used to be.

[cameronw-hfc]

I can sometimes see Newell's quality in games but honestly he has been the most anonymous in midfield.

Not really his type of game. He's better when we have more of the ball, games like this I think suit Jeggo and JDH more.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Nisbet is an SPFL striker. No more, no less. If he goes down south to the Championship he’ll not get a game. Likewise if he goes to the OF.

[Unseen work]

The ball being gone makes the clumsiness of the challenge even sillier, it doesn’t mean it isn’t a foul.

Yep, I’m disbelief some are saying it’s not the pen.

You get off the ball fouls constantly in games

[jws1875]

Seems to be more room behind the goals there than there used to be.

Old walls have been taken down and replaced with fencing. Happened at the start of the season.

[MikeyS]

It was a ridiculous challenge to make, he came steaming in like a train!

[madhatter]

Not really his type of game. He's better when we have more of the ball, games like this I think suit Jeggo and JDH more.

Newell shouldn't be playing then. Passenger in these games.

Jeggo and JDH are snapping into tackles and closing down players. Newell is regularly deeper than them, looks like he's doing that to take a breather - hiding.

[Helensburghhibs]

We need much more from the 2 up top. No outball at all so it keeps coming right back at us.

Nisbet is miles away from the level of Celtic team so if that is where his ambitions lie he might need to reassess.

Yeah I usually defend him.... but we either need to get people around him or accept that someone else may be better in that role. He is no good when isolated. Better with pace in that role. At least you can then turn them

[J-C]

Why do we always play crap in these split games, yet to see us have a decent finish to a season, only when Lennon was in charge but generally we just don't turn up, so bloody annoying.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Had a couple of good chances against Celtic reserves but all too familiar under LJ against the OF. stand off and hope they can't/don't make the breakthrough

So boring

[HH81]

Nisbet is an SPFL striker. No more, no less. If he goes down south to the Championship he’ll not get a game.

Be in league 1 someone like Barnsley or Peterborough.

[Unseen work]

We really miss, and have done so for about 2 years, a really creative, number ‘10’ type of midfielder.

[blackpoolhibs]

I really dont like Hibs much these days, mostly it's a bloody chore watching them.:zzzzz!:

[MikeyS]

I can sometimes see Newell's quality in games but honestly he has been the most anonymous in midfield.

Doesn't turn up enough.

Brian Hamilton with better hair!

[Bobo]

Too passive for me, need to be getting in and about them instead of standing off and allowing them time and space on the ball.

Poor penalty that no-one outwith the old firm would get.

We have to have more of a go 2nd half surely but I've no faith in the weak as water Johnson to instill any passion in his players.

[Tambo]

Sitting off and chasing shadows for most of the game and when Youan or Nisbet do get the chance to break away its ended up being isolated and celtic clean up.

It does feel like another training match, this time for Celtic.

Let's see if Johnson changes anything at half time.

[greenlex]

There’s an argument that McGregor actually charges into Stevenson as he slides in at the penalty as he is nowhere near the ball.

[Callum_62]

There’s an argument that McGregor actually charges into Stevenson as he slides in at the penalty as he is nowhere near the ball.Some argument that [emoji1787]

I think lewis thought he was sliding to make a blocking tackle but McGregor missed or left the ball and was clearly wiped out

[madhatter]

Take off Newell and Nisbet and put on McKirdy and Hoppe.

We are losing and current way we are playing is going to get us nowhere.

Need more pace up front and no point carrying Newell. Celtic press too fast for his 900 touches before playing a pass.

[dmc1875]

I really dont like Hibs much these days, mostly it's a bloody chore watching them.:zzzzz!:

It’s just boring. Such a boring team to watch and the atmosphere at ER for “big games” is horrendous because of it

[greenlex]

We are still in the game here. We’ve had chances. Most folk would have us down by a few goals by now. The front two need to up their game a bit. We can still get something from this game. Can’t believe folk are bored.

[SHODAN]

Three more days and it's over.

He’s been mediocre and managed a top six finish but I couldn’t care less if he stays or goes. He can keep our heads above water but he won’t take us to a higher level.

[madhatter]

22% possession and 61% passing accuracy, Celtic are good but that's really poor from us.

By the spaces the last two games think many agree with that

[Unseen work]

It’s 1-0 to the team top of the league and they’ve scored with a pen.

Overall I think we’ve played ok and are unlucky not to have scored through Nisbet and Youan.

If we start chasing Celtic all over the park they’ll break and put a couple away.

That said, we need to be better on the ball and get guys like Newell on it more

been unlucky all season with missed chances or maybe we are simply not good enough

Can see us finishing 6th.

Beyond first 20mins we've gifted them so much time and respect. Our midfield are so slow. JDH only one that was getting remotely close to opposition number but even he looks knackered now.

If it wasn't the derby I honestly would just have played a team filled with young players...

Season was over as soon as we got top 6. Had that feel back then and its ultimately proved to be the case.

St Mirren won’t pick up any more points this season

[CapitalGreen]

22% possession and 61% passing accuracy, Celtic are good but that's really poor from us.

Too simplistic an analysis. Celtic are playing a possession game passing it around at the back a lot while we are going long early to Youan and Nisbet. Our short passing hasn’t been perfect of course but our possession and pass completion numbers will always be low when trying to implement such a strategy.

[Pretty Boy]

Yesssss

Newell, JDH and Campbell midfied holy trinity is back.

[LunasBoots]

been unlucky all season with missed chances or maybe we are simply not good enough

To many missed chances all season that frankly we should have taken, other teams seem to show another more fight in big games which in too many we haven't

[Paulie Walnuts]

Campbell on…

A sad reflection on our squad that’s who we’re looking to to change it.. and to reunite the terrible trio.

[Gatecrasher]

Agree with the boring comments, this is such a bland hibs team. Just happy that we are in a comfortable league position. Will be happy when the season is over. There is a lot of work to be done over the summer.

[Donegal Hibby]

Don't think we have been bad in fairness and have had some good chances. Haven't found it boring at all TBH . Just a penalty the difference at the moment !

We have had 22% possession, it’s awful to watch imo

[Unseen work]

Not good enough to beat Celtic?

Probably.

[blackpoolhibs]

Yesssss

Newell, JDH and Campbell midfied holy trinity is back.
:faf: Did i imagine it, but did LJ not say we wouldnt see those 3 again together?

[Hibs90]

Yesssss

Newell, JDH and Campbell midfied holy trinity is back.

[Heisenberg]

Change of formation with CJ going into midfield.

[Paulie Walnuts]

:faf: Did i imagine it, but did LJ not say we wouldnt see those 3 again together?

I actually thought the same but then thought it would be a strange thing to come out and say.. then I realised that probably makes it more likely considering what he comes out with.

[HH81]

Goal needed to seal Europe.

Mon Hibs.

[hibee-boys]

We qualified for top 6 beating Hearts on the way, since then we beat St Mirren and did everything but score against Aberdeen. What did we realistically expect from 2 old firms games? I get the concern around performance but since when do we judge Hibs managers on games against either of that pair🤷🏼 I thought the vibe was positive following the first 2 post spli games. We’ll finish 5th, a result in line with our budget and qualify for Europe……you’d think we we’re getting relegated with some of moaning🙄

[blackpoolhibs]

If we can get a point here, i know, then it virtually ensures we get European football.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Funnily enough the stats at ibrox are very similar and they almost went in winning 1-0

Damned stats eh

don't blame the stats :grr:

[jeffers]

Surprised at comments saying how boring we are, sure I’ve read how much better it’s been this season…..

As PB said good to see our last home game of the season sees JDH, Campbell and Newell back together. Ah the progress..

[Pretty Boy]

How many fouls is he getting since his booking?

[Gatecrasher]

How is meada still on the park?

[Pretty Boy]

I don't think we have been terrible. Even a half interested Celtic are very good.

We have had chances albeit we have let them have a lot of the ball. Still in it and a goal is huge now.

[madhatter]

That has to be a goal...

[Unseen work]

Another huge chance for Nisbet

[Callum_62]

Maida committed about 3 fouls since his booking

I never expect us to win v the OF. I expect us to give then a game and play a high tempo to get the fans off their seat

This season we've taken 1 point out of 24 and in all honesty never looked like taking any more. And even that point was from rangers playing with 9 men. Poorer teams than us csn take the game to the OF at home. Why can't we?

[Heisenberg]

Just not enough power on it.

[Hibs90]

:faint:

[Pretty Boy]

What a ****ing goal that is by Youan

Sweet as you like

[Callum_62]

It wasn't a gilt edge chance at all

Decent effort and save

[Heisenberg]

Miller is certainly aggressive. Loving it.

[Aldo]

Miller is certainly aggressive. Loving it.

Can expect him to be dropped at weekend then!

[Gatecrasher]

Lovely goal by Youan

[e2los]

Thank goodness, something to cheer about.

Great goal.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Finally pressing

[Pretty Boy]

One more for a 4th place shout out at Tynecastle. Might not even need it if Rangers van rack up a few at Ibrox.

[Pretty Boy]

Miller is certainly aggressive. Loving it.

Had to play in the derby. Looks made for it.

[cabbageandribs1875]

8 goals for Elie Youan

[Pretty Boy]

Lucky *******s.

VAR should be looking at the handball in the build up.

[cabbageandribs1875]

1-2 :rolleyes:

[SHODAN]

Miller can take some throw!

[Vault Boy]

Abysmal.

[madhatter]

Hanlon at fault. Tackling with the wrong foot...

[Pretty Boy]

It looked a handball to me.

[Aldo]

Ffs

[CMac1988]

And that's what happens when the game opens up. One mistake in defence and punished.

[Berwickhibby]

Pish defending yet again …every week the same

[greenlex]

Back to being bored.

[cabbageandribs1875]

VAR check for possible hand ball

[Heisenberg]

Hanlon ffs

[Pretty Boy]

Goal given.

Of course it was.

[cabbageandribs1875]

that was a weak challenge by hanlon btw

[cameronw-hfc]

What's the banging??

[The Tubs]

That was terrible all round.

[hibee_girl]

What's the banging??

Fireworks in Celtic end. Doing my head in.

[cabbageandribs1875]

ach away **** off

[madhatter]

That's handball in the build-up. Can easily see in the VAR footage.

[Ryan91]

What's the banging??

Probably small fireworks they've managed to smuggle in.
