Easter Road saw six goals tonight as Celtic took on Hibernian but unfortunately for the champions, it was the home side who took the points, winning 4-2 in the penultimate league game of the season.

Celtic twice led in the match, first of all through a Reo Hatate penalty and then a goal from Hyeongyu Oh in the second-half, but Daizen Maeda’s sending off after picking up two yellow cards saw Hibs score three goals to win the game.

That dismissal was a key moment in the match, and Ange Postecoglou believes it led to a chaotic last period.

Speaking to Celtic TV after the game, the Celtic manager said: “I think up until the sending-off we were in a good position and looking to finish the game strong.

“Obviously after the red card, there was a bit of everything happened – cancelled red, penalties, mistakes – so we just got into a crazy last 20 minutes and unfortunately we didn’t get the outcome we wanted.

“The game got chaotic after that (Maeda dismissal). Their red card getting cancelled and the whole thing seemed to get a bit out of control at that stage. Up until that point it was okay but the last half-hour we lost our way a bit.”

Next up for Celtic is Trophy Day on Saturday, as the Hoops play host to Aberdeen before the Scottish Cup final the following weekend, as Ange Postecoglou’s side bid to secure a domestic treble.

And the manager is looking forward to playing at a packed Paradise on Saturday, when the team will lift the Premiership trophy after winning the title for a second consecutive season.

“It should be a great day,” he said. “The supporters here tonight were great, they still got behind the lads and I’m sure the boys are looking forward to making it a special day on Saturday.”
