Trivia

  • Following the loss to Dundee and the continuing lack of goals, the experiment with Alec Boden up front was dropped and a fit again Jimmy Walsh restored to the starting line.
  • Hibernian had not lost a League game at Celtic park since 1946; Celtic had yet to win at home in the League

Review

McPhail's first goal in the season; Celtic fail to take their chances in a second half when they had the clear advantage; Hibernian snnok a equaliser to share the points. A poor start to the season fior Celtic.
