How they played
OFIR MARCIANO (6)
Staged a goal-saving intervention, punching a Tierney cross clear of Oli Burke. Thereafter, was powerless to stop either of Celtic’s rasping goals.
DAVID GRAY (7)
Thunderous in the tackle throughout, the Hibs skipper marshalled Scott Sinclair well. He proved his worth at the other end too, getting into crossing positions frequently.
DARREN MCGREGOR (6)
Showed all of his strength to keep Edouard mostly quiet but was caught out by both Celtic goals, failing to get a challenge or a block in on either.
PAUL HANLON (6)
Dug his defensive partner out of a hole with a superb covering tackle on Edouard – but had his head in his hands minutes later when Scott Brown doubled the Hoops’ advantage.
LEWIS STEVENSON (6)
Got away with one when appearing to foul Oli Burke just outside the Hibs box on the hour. However, he worked tirelessly to get forward.
DARYL HORGAN (6)
A snapping opportunist out wide, he never gave Celtic’s defenders a moment’s peace. – Never settled into the game)
(STEVIE MALLAN, 64, 4
VYKINTAS SLIVKA (8)
Pinged laser-guided diagonals around for fun and was calmness personified in possession. The Lithuanian was Hibs’ standout from start to finish.
MARK MILLIGAN (6)
Used all of his experience to lend solidity to Hibs’ midfield, but the Australian internationalist tired in the second half and was pulled just after Celtic took the lead. –A battling display.)
(MARVIN BARTLEY, 64, 4
STEPHANE OMEONGA (6)
The on-loan Genoa man’s speed of thought and technique were impressive throughout. – Found himself isolated.)
(OLI SHAW 77, 3
MARK MCNULTY (5)
The on-loan Reading star worked hard, closing down defenders with enthusiasm, but it just wasn’t his evening on the ball.
FLORIAN KAMBERI (6)
Got stuck into Boyata and Ajer and showed some neat touches when Hibs kicked into gear. Unfortunately, his efforts came to nothing, and he fell out of the game.
Unused – Dabrowski (GK); Bigirimana; Mackie; Allan.
