Review
Another week of heavy rain, another soggy pitch.
Celtic won comfortably at Easter Road, McGrain and Hood were their best players. Dixie Deans always seemed to revel when playing Hibernian and he opened the scoring. Harry Hood's hard cross bounced off the chest of goalkeeper Whyte and Dixie was there to pop the rebound in. Steve Murray got the second ten minutes before the end but Celtic were always in control.
Deans scored his customary goal against Hibs and with luck could have had a hat trick.
