Celtc 1-1 Hibernian

[hibadelic]

David Murphy's excellent goal gave Hibs a draw at Celtic Park in the first game since the departure of John Collins on Wednesday.

Murphy picked the ball up inside his own half, passing to Benji (Abdessalam Benjelloun) who returned it in to Murphy's path. His shot cracked in off the bar, leaving Celtic goalkeeper Mark Brown no chance. [see David Murphy's goal here]

Celtic equalised with a Jiri Jarosik volley on 78 minutes.

Benji went off injured with five minutes to go leaving Hibs to see out the match with 10 men. Hibs held on to secure the first point under temporary manager Tommy Craig. The draw leaves Hibernian in 5th place in the league on 28 points, a point behind Dundee United who lost to Gretna.
