Celtic will look at this as a thoroughly good day’s work. Safely through to the League Cup quarter-finals with the minimum of fuss.
The platform for this victory was set in the first quarter of an hour, by which time stand-in striker Daizen Maeda had already bagged a double.
Another goal followed, albeit gift-wrapped by Hibs, allowing the league champions to relax for the latter part of the match.
They’ll be disappointed by the concession of the goal, but you could just as easily attribute that to the quality of Martin Boyle’s delivery and the headed finish by Mykola Kuharevich.
Another comfortable win, another match in which they’ve found it easy to score goals and create chances, even without their star striker, Kyogo Furuhashi. A promising season lies ahead on this early evidence.
