Hibs player ratings as David Marshall howler caps off miserable afternoon against Celtic

A David Marshall howler left Hibs staring at defeat as they crashed to a 6-1 hammering against Celtic in Glasgow.

Lee Johnson’s men rocked up to Celtic Park with plenty of reasons to be confident, and they showed early promise with runs from Harry McKirdy causing problems. All the hard work unravelled on 10 minutes when Hibs were caught sleeping at the back for James Forrest to net the opener. The defensive lapses continued when Giorgos Giakoumakis was allowed to ghost in for Celtic’s second. The Hibees went into the break three goals down when Marshall tried to catch a Forrest strike but allowed it slip into his own goal.

Lee Johnson's side conceded as many in the second half despite the manager making FOUR changes at half time. Striker McKirdy was hooked and his replacement Élie Youan fired Hibs a consolation but any chance of a recovery was quickly dispelled when Forrest scored his third and another goal from Giakoumakis and Daizen Maeda piled on the misery.
