In a thrilling encounter that came down to penalties on Wednesday night at Easter Road, Celtic held off until the very end to secure a thrilling victory against Hibernian.
Two penalty kicks were given to Brendan Rodgers’ team in each half, including one in the ninetieth minute, and Adam Idah, a January loan addition, scored them both.
Kris Boyd, however, believed that Hibernian ought to have received a penalty of their own because he claimed that Martin Boyle was fouled by Celtic left-back Alexandro Bernabei.
As they informed Sky Sports Football (07/02/24 at 10:25 pm), the former striker said, “I have seen them given.” Presenter Eilidh Barbour laughed at him and questioned, “Where have you seen them given?” James McFadden then said, “You are clutching at straws.”
Eilidh Barbour did say, “I don’t know why the two next to you (James McFadden and Neil Lennon) are laughing so much,” as Kris Boyd was spewing his typical gibberish.
Since Celtic now lead the table by three points, it’s obvious that the former Rangers player was hanging on for dear life, but it’s also clear that a title fight is already underway this season.
For this reason, those two penalties against Adam Idah might end up being crucial in the future.
