With Craig Bellamy, Chris Sutton and Didier Agathe all out injured, Martin O'Neill's side got off to the worst possible start when Garry O'Connor gave the visitors the lead on seven minutes.

Hibernian hopes
Substitute Craig Beattie equalised for Celtic just before the hour mark, but two goals in the last ten minutes from midfield players Ivan Sproule and Scott Brown gave Hibernian their first win at Celtic Park in 13 years. The Edinburgh outfit are now five points clear of Aberdeen in third and are favourites to secure a UEFA Cup spot next season.
