After the 1-4 defeat against Stuttgart in the Europa League, this 1-2 defeat against Hibernian is added, and they lose 3 very important points.
At the start of the match, the surprise was already seen in the 24th minute, Felix Passlack put the visitors ahead, although Celtic’s reaction was quick, equalizing the match with the goal from Benjamin Nygren to make it 1-1.
But towards the end of the match, the hard blow that would leave Celtic with defeat would arrive, in the 87th minute, Kai Andrews would put the definitive 1-2, snatching points from Celtic at home.
A very negative aspect from which, now, they will have to depend on other results if they want to finish as leaders and champions of the Scottish Premiership, since previously they depended on themselves, but now things get complicated for Martin O’Neill’s team.
