Clark Scott fumed: “Absolutely shocking defending for that equaliser.”

Kelsey Craig added: “Usual… can’t see a game out.”

Steve Brown said: “I’m willing to take the flak that will inevitably come - but Porteous and Hanlon aren’t good enough. Porteous in particular, I’m sorry, but he’s poor.”

John Sutherland tried to see the bright side: “This is still a result which I would have settled for to begin with, and is at least far better than the absolute nightmare we witnessed last night from

Hibernian Women.”

Robbie Sinclair reckoned: “Individual mistakes from Porteous and Hanlon cost us that.”

Lewy Barr added: “Celtic all over the place at 2-0 and we change it to sit back. I never want to see Boyle right wing back again.”

John Friary tweeted: “I will take that but frustrating that Hibs gave up a two goal lead and lost the second in the 91st minute.”

Jordan Brown took aim at the referee: “Frustrating. Some performance which merited 3 points. Bobby Madden has had a ‘mare though.”

Paul Welsh wrote: “Good second half from Hibs, bad defensive error led to an equaliser. Soft penalty me thinks, in the second half.”

Jack Broadway added: “Disappointing after being 2-0 up.”
