Review
Celtic's performance was so bad on the night that supporters sent letters to the Celtic View afterwards in complaint.
Hibs were deserved winners with Celtic a shambles at the back and aimless up front. Only Dalglish and Glavin gained pass marks in midfield.
Near the end the big Celtic support belted out 'You'll never walk alone' in pure defiance but at the final whistle they left in near silence.
