Hibs lost on the road for the first time this season with a 3-0 reversal at Celtic Park.

Callum McGregor’ opener put the Easter Road side at a disadvanatge from early on and Jack Ross won’t have been too chuffed with his side’s defending in the lead-up to the goal.

Albian Ajeti doubled the hosts’ advantage ten minutes before half time and that may have been the sucker punch for the visitors.

Hibs had their chances in the first half with Kevin Nisbet and Martin Boyle going close but Neil Lennon’s side took control of the game in the second half and the game was already beyond Hibs’ reach when Mohamed Elyounoussi slid home a third ten minutes from time.
