Celtic fans were both angry and frustrated yesterday when the full-time whistle was blown at Easter Road. Not only did the 2-0 loss show up a number of major problems at the club, but it also saw Rangers capitalise with a 1-0 win over Hamilton to take top spot in the Scottish Premier League.

It’s not all doom and gloom for the Hoops, even if it may look like that on the Monday morning after suffering two defeats in four days. Brendan Rodgers’ side have a chance to get up and dust themselves down with a midweek clash on Wednesday at home to Motherwell, and whilst that’s going on the league leaders will be at Easter Road, where an inspired Hibs will be keen to make light work of Rangers.
If things go as the Celtic fans expect them to go, Steven Gerrard’s side will falter away to Hbs just like they did, whilst they’ll be hoping to pick up maximum points as they return to Parkhead for domestic action against Motherwell. However, whatever the results of those two clashes, the Bhoys will be eager to remind themselves that these issues that have been surfacing won’t go away because of one good gameweek.

Disappointing is an understatement. That performance today was unacceptable. One of the worst performances I've witnessed under BR. Up there with the hearts defeats.

The Hoops will be desperate to get back to winning ways on Wednesday, and will just hope their side can get some wins under their belt before making some changes in the upcoming January window.
