Review
Celtic are coming on to fine form.
They demolished Hibs with ease outplaying them at every position and had fine performances from Conroy, McCluskey and Provan.
Highlight of the game was a glorious 35 yard goal from Danny McGrain and the Celtic fans went mad when it went in.
Celtic could have won by more and Hibs seemed to have one eye on their forthcoming Scottish Cup Final against Rangers.
