90+5 Long one into Nish, knocked on to Bamba who takes a heavy touch and shoots but poor, weak and at Boruc. Final whistle, Celtic hold on to the win!
90+3 Boruc booked for time-wasting.
90+1 Last-chance saloon for Hibs as Wotherspoon is in, he drills it into the box and Bamba is in there but behind him and it ricochets in the box and Boruc gets a touch and hacked away!
89' Caddis fouls Rankin around 35 yards out, taken quickly wide to Wotherspoon who plays in a good cross but Flood heads clear. Rankin loses the ball, Brown plays it through to Samaras, he is in but too wide and Brown is yelping for it but Samaras goes it alone and plays it straight at Stack who blocks. Brown is annoyed.
88' Celtic take the corner short but manage to give it away. Not for long though, Hibs can barely string two passes together. Bamba barges into Caddis from behind on the right wing, needless free-kick and a booking.
87' Celtic counter and Killen has it on the edge of the box, he hammers a dipping shot towards the top left but Stack palms it over!
79' CELTIC SUB: N'Guemo off for Caddis.
78' Nish on the edge of the box, takes a sweet touch to drag the ball back and clip a curling shot in that goes just wide of the far post!
77' Rankin with the corner and Riordan flies in but a decent stop from Boruc.
76' HIBS SUB: Stokes comes off for big Colin Nish.
69' CELTIC SUB: Flood and Killen on for Maloney and McDonald.
67' HIBS SUB: Byrne on for McCormak.
66' McBride booked for clipping Brown.
65' Wotherspoon gets it 25 yards out on the right AND HE SPANKS OVER A DIPPING HALF VOLLEY TO THE TOP LEFT BUT AN INCREDIBLE SAVE BY BORUC OFF THE INSIDE OF THE POST AND AWAY! What a stop! That was a brilliant shot by the youngster, rising high and dipping into the top corner but the Pole somehow flew across to trip that.
62' Bit of a mess on the edge of the Celtic box but McGeady breaks and Hanlon brings him down, that is going to be at least a booking but Hanlon claps the referee's decision because he has shown McGeady a yellow card for diving, his second and he is off!
61' HIBS SUB: Cregg comes off for Zemmama.
59' The free-kick is swung by McBride into the box, Riordan with a flick on AND BAMBA MUST SCORE BUT HE SLICES THE FINISH WIDE OF THE FAR POST! Oh dear, bad miss.
58' N'Guemo sees yellow for a brutish trip in the middle of the park.
51' Riordan swings it in and it catches Boruc out, who staggers back to tip it behind for another corner.
50' Good play by Stokes on the left to spin inside Loovens and Hinkel to win a corner. Taken short, Riordan cuts back and unleashes a superb shot that Boruc just tips over!
46' Second half underway!!
45+3 Half-time, Celtic lead 1-0 through that Samaras's first SPL goal since December. Really, it's been that long.
41' N'Guemo wide right to Hinkel who digs out an excellent dipping cross AND SAMARAS LEAPS LIKE A SALMON TO POWER THE HEADER PAST STACK FOR 1-0! Great goal, but Bamba did not get tight enough on Samaras. Muted celebrations from the Greek - that's his first goal in donkey's.
38' Maloney to put this corner in from the left AND CALDWELL FLIES IN BUT PUTS IT OVER! Another superb chance from a corner from Celtic, their corner-takers are really giving their team-mates something to work with.
37' Fox to take this again, his delivery this far has been excellent AND IT IS ANOTHER ONE ACROSS THE FACE OF GOAL AND MCDONALD AND LOOVENS BOTH MISS IT AND BAMBA BUMBLES IT BEHIND!
32' Maloney has the ball in the back of the net after a great flick on by Samaras but the flag is up for a push, which is very harsh as the lino was on the wrong side of the play to see that. He seemed to me to do nothing wrong.
24' Riordan gets down the left again and he skins Hinkel before swinging over a deadly low cross that flies across Boruc and he can only parry it but hacked away by Caldwell!
23' Riordan to take this free-kick then, on the left-hand corner of the box. He swings in a brilliant curler that beats Boruc all ends up and flies inches wide! That shaved the post, fantastic effort.
22' Only a yellow for McGeady, there were men getting back the ref says. Lucky boy.
21' Another corner to Celtic on the right almost finds Samaras but Hibs clear this time. Cregg plays it to McBride now and he spots Riordan but plays it to McGeady BUT IT COMES OFF HIS THIGH AND RIORDAN IS IN AND MCGEADY BRINGS HIM DOWN! That could be a red card, he was through!
19' Fox with the corner, superb cross to the far post on the edge of the six-yard box AND SAMARAS UNMARKED AND HE RATTLES THE HEADER AGAINST THE BAR! Stack totally beaten, Samaras should have scored!
15' Cregg lunges in on Brown, over the ball and gets a yellow. Free-kick Celtic on the left.
1' Match underway! Celtic come forward, Samaras falls clutching his face after accidentally colliding with Wotherspoon's shoulder, McDonald gets in behind Hanlon but Hogg heads clear.
- Referee: D McDonald (Scotland)

Lafferty cheated, admitted the crime, done the time, aplogised for his wrong doing, McGeady fecking cheat, no crime, my Ar*e, wake up Cyclops and smell the @#$%e!!!

I'm English and an Aston Villa supporter, so I'm a neutral as far as Hibs v Celtic.
I thought I would a read some of your Scottish footy pages for a change.
It makes me sad that there is so much bigotry and hatred north of the border, either between the Scots towards the English or worse still..Scots against the Scots. Why bring religion, ancient history, the Pope, King Billy into it????? Football is a wonderfull game for all of us to enjoy, especially with a bit of healthy banter, but from what I have read on these pages it's far from healthy.

All you huns have no room too talk about cheating. Kyle lafferty? fakes ah headbutt and winks too the players on the bench?
+ yous are sayin we cheated our way too win against hibs? we were a man down and hibs still never beat us! so get in rooond yees and go get ah grip

Is this "Sunshine" (more like evil and darkness) for real? You're a biased ignorant idiot. I hope I meet you in Glasgow on a dark night. Hail Hail.

why did the ref not book killen 4 diving not 1 but twice did not learn that at er n ord thompson 4 the huns must be something in the west win at all costs and to hell ith the rest of the spl lets hope the bigoted 2 end up with hee haw in there groups in europe

Haha celtic you should blame the S.F.A you made your bed know lay in it ans shut up

Haha celtic you should blame the S.F.A you made your bed know lay in it ans shut up

111.Good point well made.I assume that's why they keep singing the cry was no suspenders

So bored o all the sectarian @#$% both sides spout.
Its a game o fitba FFS.
When yoos gonnae aw grow up .who gies a @#$% aboot yer queen or pope. Divide and conquer yoos aw been had ya dumb fcuks

Remember 1572 you proddy sewer rats.Remember king billy wis a poof and he only came over to England not Scotland and while you suck on it suck on this king billy dinae like the scots.Thats why their was Massacre at Glencoe and he sold you proddy numpties on going to South America and you all got mugged,hip hip hip.
Anyway.........Three cheers for the Prince in the Black Velvet suit.

DOES LAFFERTY SPRING TO MIND FOR ALL YOU HUNS

HAIG WHAT ABOUT LAFFERTY LOL

Rangers players never cheat? Ho! Ho! Gordon Smith ( a Rangers man ) set this precedent.
What about Laugherty cheating to get an opponent sent off. Well it's going to get interesting now. Who will be next? By the way Eduardo dived and won a penalty.
I don't think McGeady was near the penalty area.

FOR ALL YOU HUNS THATS TALKING ABOUT MCGEADY, DOES LAFFERTY COME TO MIND,DID HE NOT CHEAT TO GET A PLAYER SENT OF.

Charge mcgeady with what? He was caught diving and got a red card from it, so he'll serve a game ban with it already. Plus, celtic weren't the ones moaning of eduardo and his 'penalty' it was the SFA chief executive, so everyone talking about 'irony' should take a step into reality. Fair enough if mcgeady got away with it after he dived, but he's been sent off and will serve his punishment, so get over it :s

Ive never been to Ireland nor am I a Catholic and I was born long after the famine or King silly
Hail Hail!

ha ha ha i see all the scumgers are out on our celtic stories again
go and get a life you nobodys
