HIBERNIAN held Celtic to a goalless draw at Easter Road, with the leggy champions miles from their best for the most part after their midweek Champions League exertions.
Their lethargy continued into the second half, with Liam Scales and Cameron Carter-Vickers both passing the ball directly out the park under no pressure in quick succession. Eventually, they started to assert some pressure on the Hibs box, with Forrest rattling the crossbar from close range and Hibs being forced into some heroic last-ditch defending.
It almost backfired on a few occasions though. If we’re being polite, some of the Hibs players are clearly still getting used to their new manager’s approach, and slack passing out saw Jimmy Jeggo slip and present a chance to Callum McGregor. David Marshall saved their blushes. It was somewhat surprising when he groggily stepped back onto the pitch in an attempt to continue, and sure enough, just a few minutes later he went to ground once more and Anthony Ralston was sent on in his stead as he staggered off.
