Not only was it brilliant to see Celtic pick up the win against Hibernian on Saturday, it was also objectively a fantastic game of football, with Neil Lennon’s side clearly coming to Celtic Park with a bit of winning ambition.
Most teams on an away trip to Glasgow sit in and try to frustrate the Scottish champions, but Lennon clearly felt there was something in the game for his team, instructing them to attack and have a go, especially in the second half.
Had Celtic not been at the races in the final third, it could have been a very different result.
It may have exposed the Leith side to a 4-2 defeat, but Hoops fans at least were impressed, with some believing they’ll be finishing above Hearts and Rangers in the Scottish Premiership this season.
With a return match set to come at Easter Road just before Christmas, let’s hope it’s a similarly exciting 90 minutes.
These fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the opposition after Saturday’s win…
Celtic vs Hibs at Parkhead never fails to be entertaining. Celtic getting back to their best and Hibs are really impressive and might be hard to shake off through the season

Great game today some really good football. BR said after the game its about entertaining the public..they did that today. Fair play to Hibs in the second half coming out and attacking us and giving us a game in the second. Were Glasgow Celtic..HH

First team all season to come to us and come out and play football. They got dismantled and it should have been a lot more, but fair play to hibs for that. Showed more bottle than the rest of the shitebags in the league with 10 men on the edge of their box for 90 minutes

All that’s wrong with the Scottish football TV deal summed up by Celtic vs Hibs not being shown live. Possibly THE game of this season in Scotland, with two teams that just want to attack yet it was a Saturday 3pm non TV match. The sooner we move on from Sky Sports the better.

Great game today , Hibs came to attack and @CelticFC had the answers, yet the game was never over till “ I wanna be Edouard” got 4th ????. Low point was the auld guy giving me abuse as I worked on Celtic TV with a Celtic tie on ,apparently I was a turncoat. Irony was lost on him ????

I thought Hibs played as well as they did today as they did in the 2-2 game at Celtic Park last season. Celtic were outstanding going forward today, that was the difference. https://t.co/kX7PCE9pc5
