FT: Hibernian 1-2 Celtic
Celtic manager Martin O’Neill tells BBC Scotland: “Absolutely delighted with it.
“Considering the circumstances, considering the conditions today and considering what has happened on Thursday [losing to Celta Vigo], I thought this was our best win of the season and we didn’t play particularly well in the game. It was even better than last Sunday.
“Thankfully, we did score so quickly afterwards [the Hibs goal] and we got the winning goal. It’s a difficult afternoon even in good conditions form. I always find Easter Road really difficult.”
On Alistair Johnston’s introduction as a substitute and quick withdrawal, O’Neill explained: “He felt something again.
“We’re not sure just at this moment. When you’ve had a couple of hamstring problems, I think that your concern is anything you might feel is a bit of a niggle. I don’t know. He’s not sure, neither the doctor is just at this minute. He’ll obviously need a scan and we’ll see how he is.”
And, on Cameron Carter-Vickers’ return from injury, O’Neill commented: “Of course, we need every single body back. He seems to have come through the game OK. Delighted that the big players are back.”
