Celtic slipped up again on Monday night, as they could only draw 1-1 at home with Hibernian.

The Bhoys were missing a host of players due to pandemic protocol, and Gavin Strachan had to take charge in place of Neil Lennon.

Celtic were unsurprisingly not at their best given how many players they were missing, but did take a late lead through David Turnbull.

However, Hibs popped up with a leveller in injury time, with Kevin Nisbet smashing home after Celtic struggled to clear from a Hibs free kick.

The result means Celtic are 21 points behind Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, though they do still have three games in hand on the Gers.

There wasn’t really much for Celtic to shout about last night, but defender Stephen Welsh turned in another promising display.

The 20-year-old homegrown prospect has shown promise this season, and Celtic fans suggested that he was ‘outstanding’ and ‘brilliant’ last night.

Some believe he has a real future at Celtic, and showed Shane Duffy how to play centre back, believing he looks like a really good prospect for the future.
