Pat Bonner
Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageIt's been a good reaction from Hibs. The second goal got them back in to this game. They've upped the tempo and not allowed Celtic to totally dominate.

Hibernian 2-4 Celtic
Hibs go close twice in a minute. Stevie Mallan meets a cross flush on the volley just outside the box and it flies narrowly over the bar.
Then Christian Doidge is inches away from connecting with a Florian Kamberi cross six yards out. Hibs enjoying a good spell of pressure.

Celtic make a change, with winger James Forrest off for defender Hatem Elhamed. Perhaps a sign of Hibs' improved threat in the second half.

Just under half an hour to go. What else could this barmy semi-final still have in store?

Pat Bonner
Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageThe Hibs fans who were leaving have turned back now. Kamberi snuck in to score. Nobody was there to pick him up, just an easy header in to the net.

Scott Brown
Celtic skipper Scott Brown claims a rare goal and it's a horror show for Chris Maxwell. The keeper fails to deal with Mohamed Elyounuoussi's inswinging corner under pressure from Christpher Jullien, and Brown gleefully puts the ball into the net.
PENALTY APPEALpublished at 18:45 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2019
Hibernian 1-3 Celtic
A promising run from Hibs' Scott Allan is halted by Kris Ajer just inside the box. Hibs shout in vain for a spot-kick as referee Bobby Madden shakes his head.

The second half is under way with both sides showing one change. Jonny Hayes replaces Boli Bolingoli for Celtic and Hibs striker Florian Kamberi is on for Josh Vela.
'No help for Hibs full-backs'published at 18:35 Greenwich Mean Time 2 November 2019
HT: Hibernian 1-3 Celtic
Pat Bonner
Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageHibs don't have defensive discipline, with Daryl Horgan and Stevie Mallan on the wings and the full-backs pushing up. They need to sacrifice something going forward because the wide players aren't helping the full-backs at all.
