Celtic lost their match today in what was a very half-hearted effort by the entire team. Bad passing, bad turnovers marked this game as well as inconsistent refereeing. Celtic lacked players stepping up to win the game. Celtic captain Stephen McManus left in the 45th minute after getting assaulted in midair by Ranger's player Cousin.

Scott McDonald gave Celtic victory with his feet in the dying seconds of the Champions League match against AC Milan... The scoring started in the 62nd minute when McManus scored on a header after a corner was taken by Paul Hartley. A few minutes later.. a soft foul in the penalty box was awarded to AC Milan and Kaka nailed the penalty bottom left of the net.

In the 90th minute, Australian internationalist Scott McDonald scored easily after the ball was mishandled by Dida to put Celtic up 2-1. The event shortly after will be talked about for a while. A fan apparently ran out on the field and touched Dida on the stomach. Dida charged the fan and then a few seconds later fell down in an apparent dive. He was stretchered off. UEFA is investigating the event.

Individual mistakes were the key to this game and it cost Celtic dearly in the end. Two mishandled balls by Boruc led to two goals. And a Gary Caldwell header right to Hibs' Gathuessi resulted in the other goal. Celtic were unfortunate in the first half to be down 2-1. After they outplayed Hibs controlling possession 63%. But after the second half the Hibs came out on fire dominating long segments of the half. The loss saw Celtic back down to second place in the Scottish Premier League.
