SEASON 2024/25

SCOTTISH LEAGUE CUP 2nd Round

Venue:  CELTIC PARK

CELTIC  3  HIBERNIAN  1

Scorers: Maeda(2), Kuhn; Kukharevych

Second meeting between the Scottish Greens in eight days, this time in the League Cup.  Like last week Celtic took an early two goal lead to set up another fairly comfortable win although Hibs did at least find the back of the net this time to reduce to first half deficit to 2-1.

In the second Hibs shot themselves in the foot by conceding a very soft third goal when they had procession of the ball.

A stroll in the sun for Celtic.  Two up within 20 minutes.  The only downside is there were no more away goals after the 20th minute.

In the wings of the Main Stand but it was a very good seat in line with the six yard box.
