Three games in, it's three defeats for new Hibs manager Marink Reedijk, with only one more match to play before next Sunday's Edinburgh derby League Cup semi-final against Hearts.

The onus is now on Wednesday's league trip to St Mirren to build some sort of momentum and confidence for Hampden.

On the plus side, Newell took full advantage of his unexpected start, not just with his quick thinking assist but his overall performance over 76 minutes after limited game time in recent weeks.

Perhaps the windy conditions played their part but what will frustrate the Hibs faithful is the ease with which they gave up their lead. The closest player to Kerr as he nodded Benjamin Nygren's delivery into his own net was team-mate Elding.

The Klidje chance proved to be the real turning point, though. Difficult as it was to convert a lofted cross-field ball, inability to do so and Duran showing a ruthlessness at the other end really dented Hibs' hopes.

Hibs did not crumble after falling behind and made the second period a contest, without really threatening Sam Johnstone's goal.

Veteran Scotland defender Grant Hanley was thrown on in the closing stages to boost Hibs' attack - to no avail.

Celtic came into the Easter Road match having lost from a winning position against midweek Europa League visitors Celta Vigo.

The switch off at Hibs' opener was not the visitors' only defensive lapse. Distribution out from the back was particularly poor.

Alistair Johnston returned from injury as a second-half substitute but lasted 21 minutes before being withdrawn as fellow defender Carter-Vickers made his own re-introduction following a spell out.

Going forward, the intent was clear. Callum McGregor's deflected strike touched wide forced the series of corners from which Celtic equalised.

Callum Osmand set up Kasper Hogh for a chance at close range but the striker could not make a telling connection. He did connect moments later after Duran mis-hit another Osmand pass but Raphael Sallinger stood up well. Withdrawal just after the hour meant it was a 12th game in a row without a goal for Celtic's record signing Hogh.

Dundee United travel to Celtic Park in midweek, with the hosts knowing any win will strengthen their position over third-placed Hearts and/or second-placed Rangers, with the latter two sides meeting in Edinburgh.
