Hibs v Celtic

[Up-the-slope]

Tavares showing good fight

[Greenio]

Jair can cover a lot of ground rapid eh

[Pretty Boy]

I'm thinking it could be time for ALF but no sign of any action on the Hibs bench and no one has even been out to warm up this half yet.

[ChicoM1875]

Some questionable refereeing decisions in favour of Celtc

[badabing67]

Nice ball from the ref

Hardly a surprise

[SHODAN]

Good work rate, agree.

[Crunchie]

I'd like us to do a bit more than fine, thats why i want Levitt on.
Change for the sake of it rarely works. You're another one who predicted a heavy defeat, you must surely be delighted at things so far

[cubehindthegoal]

Tavares showing good fight

He is … if he can develops his skill to add to this, like Boyle added to his pace, he could come good in a similar way 🤞🏻

[Pretty Boy]

Le Fondre for Vente.

No real shock.

[cabbageandribs1875]

ALF for Dylan

[HendoDelivered]

Cmon Hibs

[Greenio]

Can anyone confirm what the patch of water or something is that ALF has on his top? I used to think it was sweat but he's no even run yet!

Poppers

[Crunchie]

Big teams will be eyeing up Miller if he keeps this level of performance up

[cubehindthegoal]

Miller is a real good clever solid player, he is the standard we want in defence. And is great at supporting midfielders and attackers. He is the one I think other teams will look at first to poach in my opinion … hope it’s not too soon.

[Up-the-slope]

We have put in the disciple and graft... just a wee bit of class or luck needed to make it a good shift

[blackpoolhibs]

Change for the sake of it rarely works. You're another one who predicted a heavy defeat, you must surely be delighted at things so far

Aye delighted. :rolleyes:

[Pretty Boy]

I wouldn't be against seeing Levitt here either. Just a wee lack of quality with the final pass in the middle. He has that ability.

[Since452]

I wouldn't be against seeing Levitt here either. Just a wee lack of quality with the final pass in the middle. He has that ability.

Yup. A moment of brilliance could win it. The work rate has been night and day compared to last week. Would be a deserved point if we get it.

[Pretty Boy]

Whittaker and A N Other coming on.

[LaMotta]

The point is the style creates the wins … to say it’s ok playing that style when you’re winning makes no sense. The managers teams style comes first, not the wins.

Yes but your missing the rather obvious point that's been mentioned a few times -Ange had the money to buy the players capable of doing it that allows them to win games using that style. No coincidence we've got better since ditching the tactic at half time.

[Pretty Boy]

Whittaker for Jair
Levitt for Jeggo

Bold.

[cabbageandribs1875]

levitt for jeggo

whittaker for jair

[SHODAN]

Miller is brilliant.

[Up-the-slope]

Whittaker for Jair
Levitt for Jeggo

Bold.

:agree: love it if it pays off

[Since452]

Come on Levitt. 25 yarder in to the top corner please.

[Greenio]

Exciting double sub that

[ChicoM1875]

Thought Jair played well. A bit of fight.

[Hibs90]

Fair play Jair. Put a shift in.

[cabbageandribs1875]

forrest misses a great chance

[Tricla]

Thought Jair played well. A bit of fight.

Best showing so far

[Up-the-slope]

offt close to losing it there... come on Hibs keep it tight

[SHODAN]

No one marking Forrest there.

[cubehindthegoal]

Yes but your missing the rather obvious point that's been mentioned a few times -Ange had the money to buy the players capable of doing it that allows them to win games using that style. No coincidence we've got better since ditching the tactic at half time.

The point wasn’t the same style or players as ange … it was of believing a manager has the ability to select a style and the confidence and self belief to continue with it and drill it … I think we are seeing a manager who does just that, and does it well. Anyway, not sure we will agree on this … and at this stage it is way too early to tell what he will do with us. So far though, I like it … he has made progress, and shown promise of more, in the short while he has been here.

[CMac1988]

Go on Rocky!

[badabing67]

Sellick turning the screw a bit here

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

A bit worried about Johnson here.

[Joe6-2]

Well done the Hibees

[Off the bar]

Brenda still can’t win at Easter Rd

[WeeRussell]

Well done Monty, Marshall, Rocky, Jair and the rest of the boys.

Very good result.

[CMac1988]

Worked hard, kept our shape and didn't let up. Not always pretty but a good point when most felt a drubbing was on the cards.

[Lago]

FT great point :greengrin
Unexpected but absolutely a great point, so pleased for Montgomery and the team.

[Ryan91]

Solid point against a team who swept aside our pink chums across the city last week

[Keith_M]

Terrific performance. That’s why you play 4-4-2.


Better performance, and result, than last week.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Phew, TF for that.

[blackpoolhibs]

Well done lads, great point. :top marks

[ChicoM1875]

Well done Hibs - would have took a point before the game.

[J-C]

Good point earned, so much better than last week.

[neil7908]

Time for me to eat my humble pie.

I was very worried with that formation after Ibrox but a fantastic point today.

Really exciting to see what Montgomery can do with this team once he gets a few of his own players in.

[1875M]

Good result. Looking forward to seeing this team when he can get his own players in. Well done NM and Hibs. Big game next week.

[Hibs90]

Looks like Monty learned from last week after all :wink:

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Got to be happy with that after the doom mongering predictions including mine early in the thread. 👏

[cabbageandribs1875]

Unexpected but absolutely a great point, so pleased for Montgomery and the team.


two points from

Yup. Likewise. If we can produce a workrate like that I won't have any complaints. Good day at the office.

[HarpOnHibee]

A hard earned point which should give us a lift for our next game against County.

[badabing67]

Worth a point well done Hibs

[Baader]

A very good point :aok:

[hibIBZ]

Surprised, but an excellent point. Worked very hard, looked well organised, thought they all knew exactly what their role was and carried it out. Well done

[cubehindthegoal]

Another wee step forward, well done Hibs. Imagine if we strengthened even by just a couple of players for next season. Small steps.

[Unseen work]

Well done Nick Montgomery and the coaching team, restricted Celtic to very little chances without changing what you believe in.

That’s a real manager.

Struggled looking after the ball second half and needed to be better offensively but I’m sure they’ll work on that again.

Good point Hibs, well done.

2 draws and a defeat against Hearts, Rangers and Celtic with two being away from home isn’t bad going at all.

[Tambo]

A well deserved point with some last ditch defending. Thought all the back 5 played really well.

Jeggo doing his thing again with Newell a little quiet in the second half compared to the first.

Great chance for Boyle after a terrific ball in from Obita could have gave us the 3 points.

Now time to start picking up points in the league after 3 tough games in a row and getting to the league cup final.

[LaMotta]

So far though, I like it … he has made progress, and shown promise of more, in the short while he has been here.

I agree he has made progress mate. The fact he ditched the playing out from the six yard box in the second half says to me that he could see it it wasn't working today. I'm glad he did that as we played well second half.

I'm sure we might see it again v Ross County, and I've no issues with that if it works.

[richard_pitts]

A hard earned point which should give us a lift for our next game against County.

Encouragingly it appears that Monty is capable of coaching the players and improving them.

[Up-the-slope]

a good point I didnt think we would get before the game :flag:

[Dmas]

Happy with that, thought we played well in parts, special shout to Rocky few body on the line blocks near the end there well played the big guy!

[Greenio]

Good result. Lewis Miller outstanding, great to see such fight from Jair....

Hope the doomers will see that lying down for celtic at home is not what Monty is all about!

Baws like watermelons

[HendoDelivered]

Take that btw

[Hibbyradge]

As soon as we took Jeggo off, we came under intense pressure.

[Ringothedog]

two points from

A- Heartz
A- Sevco
H- Sellick

is two points more than i expected
The way I look at it is only 1 defeat from 3 really difficult fixtures which is better than I expected

[Pretty Boy]

Excellent point gained by excellent discipline and work rate.

[SHODAN]

2 points from Hearts away + the OF isn't bad at all.

[Mick O'Rourke]

Good point and good performance against a team worth in transfers term millions more than us.
Monty got this game correct and it will get better ,as he continues to impress on the players what and how he wants them to play. Next window will be interesting for us
I also agree with sponsors motm .Lewis was super. Jair gaining confidence.
And i notice the usual Celtic danger men were 1st to be subbed .
That was telling indeed .Brenda saw that we were not giving them much change
Our boys earned their wages today !
Discipline ,focus and no fear of the opposition today was nice and Martins chance that went over
Oh if only !
I enjoyed it for the reason i think the selection was bold and it worked.
Monty is building something at ER, i have no doubt on that.

[Hibees1973]

Take that.

Celtic were poor, no doubt.

However, it shows Montgomery can make us organised and difficult to beat against a superior opponent.

I don't expect Jair to be in the team at Hampden next week, but who knows.

[weecounty hibby]

Played well against a team who have million pound players in every position. Great to see the improvements in the shape, style, attitude, effort, commitment. I'm looking forward to see us get better and better at the way Monty wants us to play. Onwards and upwards

[cabbageandribs1875]

The way I look at it is only 1 defeat from 3 really difficult fixtures which is better than I expected


that does sound better :agree:

[LaMotta]

We somehow got away with it last week ( seems strange to say despite losing 4 nowt) Manager has to put a stop to it.


No he doesn't and he won't

It's how he wants us to play and he won't change that

It's up to them and the coaching staff to make us better at it

Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Thankfully he did put a stop to it second half to help us secure a valuable point.

[weecounty hibby]

No he didn't. That's just not true. We continued to play out from the back all the way through the game

[Stuart93]

Never seen or caught any of the game today but fantastic point that against a Celtic team that thrashed hearts last week

Also good to see that Monty can have us disciplined and last week looking more like a fluke result.

Well in hibs

[Sioux]

Take that.

Celtic were poor, no doubt.

Why is it that when Hibs get a result, the opposition are always poor?

Maybe its got something to with how Hibs played that made them 'poor', no?

Or is just that some people always want to be negative?

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

A good point today although there was hardly any attacking threat from us and Celtic thrashed the deluded poppy thieves last week, I'm quite happy.

Can't it be both? Celtic playing at 25% would still usually beat us, so even with celtic having an off day it's a good result. I didn't read the comment as negative at all.

[Lago]

No he didn't. That's just not true. We continued to play out from the back all the way through the game
:aok:

Watch the game again. We still did that in the second half. It's the way we will play from now on and we will continue to get better at it

[He's here!]

I think that's a terrific point against a team I fully expected to cuff us. Well done to the manager and players.

[Pretty Boy]

No he didn't. That's just not true. We continued to play out from the back all the way through the game

Na come on that's nonsense.

What we were doing in the 2nd half, actually from about 35 minutes, was incomparable to what had gone before. The main difference being Marshall was taking the kicks and the passes were largely clearing our area.

[LaMotta]

Why is it that when Hibs get a result, the opposition are always poor?

Unfair - he was being realistic rather than negative. Hibs played well, but Celtic looked tired.

Whether its Celtic, Raith Rovers or anyone else its a common theme, and a put down.

[LaMotta]

Watch the game again. We still did that in the second half. It's the way we will play from now on and we will continue to get better at it

We didn't even come close to doing what we did in the first half. I suggest you watch it again.

Marshall was still playing the ball short to fish and rocky in the second half. What we did was mix it up a bit with ball longer to Miller and Obita. But it was still how we played

Half right!

Because some people are only happy when they have something to moan about.

[MWHIBBIES]

Played well. Boyle should've won it for us. Great set up by Monty.

[LaMotta]

Because some people are only happy when they have something to moan about.

He wasn't moaning though he was just pointing out Celtic weren't that great, which was true. It was a perfectly balanced comment. The only people moaning are those upset about about a reasonable comment. :greengrin

[Keith_M]

I think we rode our luck in the first half hour but gradually got better.

I don't think it's a criticism of Hibs to say that Celtc looked a bit off form, though. There are days when they can be a bit under par but still rip other sides apart... but we didn't allow that to happen.

TBH, today's game makes me feel a bit more confident about next week.

[Iain G]

You were agreeing with a poster who was specifically having a go at a previous poster (Hibees1973) for stating that Celtic were poor. So if you agreed with that sentiment, then you were having a go at the original poster for moaning!

Just back, I thought we played really well, we kept our shape and stuck to our game plan. I just wish the support would be a bit more patient with the team, there were a few boo's in the first half. We're clearly trying something new and it will take time to bed in.

[Heisenberg]

Jair was way better than I expected so fair play to him. Miller well deserving of his MOTM.

[Coach Jon]

I would take one defeat from these three fixtures every time.

Especially when we have been second best in every game.

[LaMotta]

I didn't read who he was replying to. I hadn't even read the original post ��

:hilarious :thumbsup:

[Mcbizz1998]

Thought we were good today. Monty got it spot on, and Celtic looked ordinary. We could have won it but a draw a fair result. Pick up 3 points on Tuesday and it’s been a a good set of results from difficult fixtures. (Yes I know the defeat to the Huns was too heavy but losing at ibrox was no disgrace)

[WhileTheChief..]

Expected us to get thumped today, so I’m pleased with the way things turned out.

Poor first half, decent second, cracking result.

Now let’s win some games, climb the league, and get to the final.

[HarpOnHibee]

Getting any result against Celtic regardless of how poor they were, is still a big deal considering the complete gulf in quality. I still think we need to work on how we approach these games though. It felt like Celtic were there for the taking today.

[Mikey_1875]

Very impressed with Rocky today despite not being his biggest fan. Threw himself at everything and has to keep his place for Tuesday.

[Iain G]

:hilarious :thumbsup:

Was enjoying my beer too much 🤣

[flash]

Back four all absolute warriors today.

At last we have found a decent left back to replace Lewis.

[wookie70]

Really good performance today. Celtc were coming into the game tired so it was important we never made it easy for them and made them work. The short kick outs did cause us more issues than them until Marshall realised he could mix it up a bit but we also adapted well after a few scares.

I think quite a few of our stars never shone today with Boyle, Youan and Vente pretty poor when we had the ball. They all did a shift though and that has been missing far too often from our wingers. Jair did well too and some of his positioning when we had the ball was excellent. I get the feeling Levitt would work well with a player that finds those pockets of space. Defence to a man all played well with Miller the standout player on the pitch. Rocky needs to watch the line as a few times he was sat two and three yards deeper and giving Celtc the chance to make runs in behind Fish.

All in all an important match for the manager as his chosen formation could have been a stick to beat him with if we had suffered a big defeat. As it was it was proof that even our creative players can do a job defensively by simply putting in the graft and if they do that the shape won't matter too much. Important to see a response from such a poor performance last week too so well done the squad and management team.

[Mcbizz1998]

If anything, we rode our luck at the end. Better team first half IMO.

[linlithgowhibbie]

Other than Forrest smacking the underside of the bar!

[A Hi-Bee]

Just back, pleased with the display, we had some chances they had some as well, on other days we would have folded when they started turning the screw after Vente went off and this gave MacGregor some time and space to effect the smelics.
Good to see some battles being won, and L.Miller put in some shift for a well deserved MOM in my humble.
On to Tuesday and we need to turn that one into 3 points.

Unless you are BBC Scotland who gave it to Marshall (who did have a couple of excellent saves).

Miller was great tho

[Bobby's Cinema]

Thoroughly deserved point today. Great defensive performance, Miller was outstanding, Rocky and Jeggo excellent.

I think although we lost alot of what Boyle can offer by playing him the way we did, he would have put the doubt in the back of the mind of Celtic and forced them to sit a little deeper when he could give us that one moment - and it almost worked perfectly.

Big week coming up now.

[JohnM1875]

Unless you are BBC Scotland who gave it to Marshall (who did have a couple of excellent saves).

Aye Marshall did make two great saves to be fair, not sure about the second one, looked good at least! But that one in the first half was brilliant.

Your right listen to Montgomery's after match comments, he said, I'm unwavering in the way I want to play and how I want my team to play. So people better get use to it, he ain't for changing.

Really good performance today. Celtc were coming into the game tired so it was important we never made it easy for them and made them work. The short kick outs did cause us more issues than them until Marshall realised he could mix it up a bit but we also adapted well after a few scares.

I think quite a few of our stars never shone today with Boyle, Youan and Vente pretty poor when we had the ball. They all did a shift though and that has been missing far too often from our wingers. Jair did well too and some of his positioning when we had the ball was excellent. I get the feeling Levitt would work well with a player that finds those pockets of space. Defence to a man all played well with Miller the standout player on the pitch. Rocky needs to watch the line as a few times he was sat two and three yards deeper and giving Celtc the chance to make runs in behind Fish.

All in all an important match for the manager as his chosen formation could have been a stick to beat him with if we had suffered a big defeat. As it was it was proof that even our creative players can do a job defensively by simply putting in the graft and if they do that the shape won't matter too much. Important to see a response from such a poor performance last week too so well done the squad and management team.

👍 Good post, totally agree.

Game was there for the taking if we had Griffiths available off the bench.

Off the cushion, surely? And no sure I'd have chucked him in at his age.

Other than Forrest smacking the underside of the bar!

That wasn’t in the first hour though, which is what the person I replied to said.

Thanks for playing 👍

Seen the medics having to attend to a boy in the East stand after the game today, hopefully all was alright?

Took an age for them to get someone , and even then the first aiders didn’t seem in to much of a hurry

Always wondered why the stewards aren’t all hooked up with radios

Just back, I thought we played really well, we kept our shape and stuck to our game plan. I just wish the support would be a bit more patient with the team, there were a few boo's in the first half. We're clearly trying something new and it will take time to bed in.

Yep the collective angst from the crowd at times doesnt help.

Hibs v Celtic Easter Road :ALL ACCESS . If anyone's not seen it .
