Celtic's winless run continued last night, as the team lost 4-2 to Europe-chasing Hibs in a goal-filled game at Easter Road.
After chances at both ends, Reo Hatate opened the scoring for the side, converting from the spot after Callum McGregor was fouled in the box. However, Hibs responded in the second half thanks to an Elie Youan strike which left Scott Bain rooted in the middle of his goal.
A few minutes later, Hyeon-gyu Oh stabbed home a scrappy goal, putting the visitors back in front. The game changed in the 67th minute, however, following the dismissal of Daizen Maeda for persistent fouling, giving Hibs the extra-man advantage.
From this, they scored a further three times from a Nisbet penalty, a Youan strike following a goalkeeping howler from Bain and an own-goal from Alexandro Bernabei to sign off their final home game with a win against the champions.
This result has left more questions than answers with regard to the collective futures of the fringe players currently at the club, with Ange Postecoglou spikily addressing the media last night to address the recent selection decisions he has made.

He said: "Some of this is on me, I am making a lot of changes and putting guys in that have not played for a long time.
"In many ways, it is a little bit unfair on them but I guess it is just my way of doing things. I just feel that sometimes you need to put people in the game and it is easier coming into the team when it is a settled line-up than when I am making so many changes.
"A lot of this is on me but I just think it is something that we needed to do."
Meanwhile, a testimonial for James Forrest has been announced by the club. Celtic play Athletic Club at Celtic Park on August 1 coinciding with the Basque club's 125-year anniversary celebrations.
The Scotland winger, who has been at Celtic since the age of 13, has played over 400 games for the club, scoring 101 times in the process for the club.
