What did Hibs fans think about losing to Celtic?

Ringo: To be honest, I'd never want Hibs to lose a game, but on this occasion I am happy they did. For me, I would never want to help Hearts win the league. To be fair, Hibs never lay down to Celtic and just about stole a draw at the end.

When you're a Hibs fan, few things sting more than a defeat—but sometimes, the context changes everything. After a hard-fought Scottish Premiership clash where 10-man Hibernian fell to title-chasing Celtic, supporters had plenty to say about the result, the performance, and the bigger picture.

Ringo summed up the conflicted feelings perfectly: "To be honest, I'd never want Hibs to lose a game, but on this occasion I am happy they did. For me, I would never want to help Hearts win the league." It's a sentiment that echoes the fierce rivalries that make Scottish football so compelling. Despite the loss, Ringo noted that "Hibs never lay down to Celtic and just about stole a draw at the end," adding a note of cautious optimism with a dose of realism: "It's been a poor season and I don't think we will win another game this season. Let's see if they can prove me wrong though."

Jim pointed to a recurring issue that's been plaguing the team: discipline. "The discipline lately has been diabolical and has cost us points. Fourth place is now gone and we need to get a result against Falkirk to hold on to fifth." But even in defeat, there was a silver lining for some: "The only good thing to come out of this game is that Celtic gained three points on Hearts."

Colin echoed the frustration over red cards, saying, "Shot ourselves in the foot again! But once again, like Hearts, Celtic struggled to break us down. Some great defensive play again. I think we wouldn't have lost to either team if we'd kept 11 players on the park." That defensive resilience—despite being a man down—is a testament to the grit in the squad.

Kieron highlighted a bright spot in the form of a budding partnership: "Yet another game where you felt if we had kept 11 men on the park we'd have got something from it. Kanayo Megwa and Miguel Chaiwa seem to be forming a good partnership as Celtic were struggling to create anything down that side of the pitch, and a lot of that was down to them." For fans looking for hope, seeing young players step up is always a positive sign.

Chris, however, was less forgiving, pointing the finger at the coaching staff: "Another game, another player with no discipline. Our defenders look good and yet we still lose. Our midfield and strikers get no chance because individuals can't control themselves, which then comes down to the coaching and the discipline passed down from the management." The warning was clear: "If we lose next week, which is becoming a real possibility, then sorry—David Gray out."

As the season winds down, Hibs find themselves in a familiar battle—not just for points, but for identity and consistency. Whether it's the defensive steel, the disciplinary woes, or the looming threat of dropping further down the table, one thing is certain: the fans are watching closely, and they expect more from their team.
