Celtic moved up another place to the top of the league. Celtic set the pace throughout the game and well deservedly scored three goals without reply. Taking O'Neill competitive winning tally to 9 out of 9.

Hibernian had only one good chance out of the whole game and seemed to have little to no attacking prowess whatsoever.

The game started quietly, with Celtic having few clear cut chances before the goal. The only notable chances were from Jackie McNamara crosses. In this game crosses from the right were causing serious problems for Hibs nothing came of them until after the penalty.

Celtic's opening goal was a Henrik Larsson penalty. It came about from a Boyd long ball onto which Alan Thompson was running, he was subsequently bundled by the keeper, and Rowbotham pointed to the spot immediately.

Larsson slotted in away at the right hand side and from then on Celtic were in full flow. The second goal came from a Lubo Moravcik cross, which Larsson drilled into the top corner, making it 2-0 and taking Hibs total goal losses this season from two to three!

Just after the start of the second half new-bhoy Alan Thompson gave us a taste of his ferocious left foot in an unstoppable shot from outside the box, narrowly missing. And then a soon after he did the same again.

Later in the second half Celtic started playing even better football in which they made lots of chances but converted none. The final goal came from a Paul Lambert lay off after a Larsson through ball, which Burchill slotted neatly in to blast any ideas of a last minute comeback.

Celtic are no longer trailing behind in the league and wih Rangers looking so shabby at the back the future looks rosy!
