Much much more like it today. It just goes to show what we can do when we attack with a bit of purpose. 4 goals, hit the woodwork 4 times, Edouard had 3 one on ones with the keeper and countless other chances missed. It really could have been an absolute beating for Hibs today. None of the sideways and backwards passing and slow build up in recent weeks.
Some real good performances from Forrest, Rogic, McGregor and Benkovic. What I did find a bit strange was why BR switched to a back 3 for the second half. Hibs has very little joy in the first half that we completely dominated. However in switching formation it seemed to allow Hibs a lot more freedom to attack allowing them back into the game.
If we play with the same attacking purpose and tempo for the rest of the season we'll be in for a treat.

That’s the best I’ve seen Celtic play for some time yesterday particularly in the first half. The fastest thing on the park the ball was getting moved forward at pace rather than sideways. Benkovic looks an outstanding prospect and Boyata kept up his run of excellent performances. Forrest is unplayable on that form. And why the best full back Scotland has produced since Danny McGrain has been receiving the criticism he has is absolutely beyond me. Anyway hopefully that’s us turned the corner after having a tad less than impressive start to the season.

Just shows what happens when you have two quality centre backs playing, gives the forward players confidence to go forward with a bit of flair.
Break the bank in Jan if not for those two then others with a bit of class.

Benkovic looks a right player and boyata the best cb in the league by a mile.

Just realised it was 5 times we hit the woodwork yesterday. Didn’t realise Edouards shot in injury time for his hat trick came back off the post.
