OVERALL – 5/10 – A Celtic Jekyll and Hyde that may have deserved the point that evaded us due to the machinations of Scottish Football’s blackest of plagues – the Mibbery of the ages. Credit Hibs, definitely, for having a proper go that had us reeling from the start and required an emotionally-jaded Hoops to contest every ball and dig deep to create anything.
We just were not up to it first-half; dreadful application with tempo absent, the mental aftershock of Munchkin Town looked still to be causing tremors as the players tried to adjust to the challenge in Ruggerville. These things happen. Football is football. A sporting love affair that carries no guarantees; not even a pre-nup, although the Zombies used to have plenty with those whistling pigs in black.
The response after the break was the required one – Celtic being Celtic again and the inevitable fruits of our verve were… Not quite ripe? Well, actually ripe and picked but spoiled by the arch-villains of the piece. So we give away some points in a mostly miserly season of allocation – and at least it was to a deserving Hibs side.
Magnanimity may have been in short supply had the day not taken an unexpected-but-not-really-however-still-startlingly-delightful turn later on and the Govan comedy act delivered the weekend’s punchline.
So… No harm done then.
And…
LOL
