Review

A wet sodden pitch made for difficult playing conditions. Early exchanges were even with if anything Celtic looking to be the better organised team. It was still 0-0 at half time.
The goals when they came were pretty much at the end. Divers sored through a melee of players in the Hibs box and almost immediately Falconer equalised with a header from a Baker cross
