I repeat I'm greatly worried re the impact of such a hammering on this team. We'll find out soon enough if this group of players can quickly "bounce back" from this pummelling or the exact opposite happens where we sink into a depressing run of failed matches. IMO "having a go" at Celtic Park was unwise with a huge long-term problem re strikers who cannae convert even the easiest of scoring opps (eg the big Ukrainian lad goes 1 on 1 on Tuesday night v the Dundee United goalie after being sent in by a United player, Sibbald - failed miserably instead of "burying" a gift!!!!!!!!). You deploy this kinda strategy if your strikers are scoring fairly regularly!!! I could've predicted 9 x attempts on goal by Hibs with no success - the stats don't lie!! Johnson should've deployed a tight midfield-defensive strategy and try to break quickly using Boyly as the outlet. We were on a "hiding to nothing" playing this kinda game plan with the resources at our disposal!! We were effectively "done" after 18 mins of this match, an absolute disgrace in not realising our limitations when playing the Hoops away from home.
