Quick Review
Celtic re-established their four-point lead over Rangers at the top of the SPL after an exciting win over Hibernian. However, we still need them to drop pts to win! Bottom line is that we were the better team but Hibs could (or should) have scored. Another fine performance by the Celts with Robson, Naka and Skippy being the standouts. Skippy unluckily had a goal rulled offside in injury else would have been even greater.

Trivia

• Hinkel out injured so Wilson started.
• Leaves us still needing the huns to draw a game for us to win the league!
• Killian Shepherd subbed onto with a few mins left
• Comes a day after very contentious game between Rangers & Dundee Utd, the latter having a goal and a penalty denied amongst other things, Link
