Celtic fans were pleased with aspects of their performance against Kilmarnock, especially Greg Taylor’s display.
Benny: Much more like the Celtic we know in that superb first 45. Movement, passing, hunger and intensity were abundant as Killie were blown away in a fast and furious 25-minute spell.
Never quite reached the same levels in the second half, but overall got to be happy with the performance and quality of some of the goals. Greg Taylor was outstanding and will be a big miss if he does go at the end of the season.
Neil: Brendan Rodgers got the changes spot on. First half we were unplayable. Great response to last week’s blip. A message to Taylor: stay and challenge Kieran Tierney for the left-back position! Now let’s focus on the semi-final and keep the treble dream alive.
Hugh: A real ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ performance. in the first half, we had pace, creativity, passion and goals and in the second half, we watched the ball being passed to death. It was dull and dreary. The two halves summed up our lack of consistency since January, when things work, brilliant, but when they don’t, there’s no Plan B.
Patrick: The stats speak for themselves. One of those days where anyone could score – and did! This match is what the players need to remember to avoid inconsistent results.
Dundee United were full of praise for manager Jim Goodwin as they secured their third successive 1-0 win.
Jim: Nine points and only three goals scored. Clean sheets are us! Jim Goodwin has to be the manager of the year.
Richard: We’ve exceeded expectations this season, and I get it that it’s all about results these days, but we are a real dire watch. Hoping Goodwin can recruit some players with creativity in the summer and get away from this long-ball rubbish that’s been served up.
John: Another good shift, another 1-0 win. We’ll take that. Sam Cleall-Harding is a young David Narey. He was class. Europe is within our grasp. Get those contracts sorted, Jim. Keep this team together.
Wayne: Great season for the boys and the brilliant fans. Keep up the great work Jim.
Hibs made it 17 matches unbeaten in the league and their fans were understandably delighted with the performance.
Stephen: From absolutely berating this team at the beginning of the season, now I am almost lost for words – an absolutely amazing turnaround. I couldn’t ask for any more, well done Hibs.
Gordon: Again, well done Hibs. Another solid, confident and dominant display. Congratulations again to David Gray and his players for keeping this amazing unbeaten run going.
Scott: Hibs’ work rate without the ball now is unrecognisable as they hunt in packs and bully teams into giving up possession. Not only that, but they play really attractive attacking football, all quite unrecognisable from a few months ago. Keeping Kieron Bowie fit over the next few weeks will be key to Hibs’ final finishing position.
Sandy: We must be running out of superlatives for this Hibs team. What a near-perfect performance and a great game to watch. It could easily have been more than 4-0, but the standout was the glimpse of Bowie’s natural footballing skills. I believe he’s going to be absolutely one of the greats for Hibs and Scotland. Onwards and upwards.
