Celtic’s nightmare day ended with a disappointing draw against Hibs that leaves them trailing by 21 points in the SPFL title ‘race’.
David Turnbull looked to have won the points with a brilliantly taken 81st minute free kick but 10 minutes later a catalogue of defensive mistakes presented Kevin Nesbit with a close-range equaliser.
With 13 players in self-isolation Gavin Strachan made six changes to the side that lost at Ibrox with all four first team strikers unavailable.
Cameron Harper made his first start with Armstrong Oko-Flex coming on after an hour to replace the young American who was clearly toiling.
Ewan Henderson and Karamoko Dembele also came on during the second half, when Turnbull earned and scored from a free-kick it looked like a difficult day was going to end on a high but Nesbit’s goal summed up Celtic’s day with fans looking for answers over a disastrous start to 2021.
On Saturday Celtic face in-form Livingston before heading for the Tony Macaroni Arena next Wednesday with their depleted squad.
