Hibs manager Marink Reedijk turned to defender Grant Hanley as a makeshift striker in the final eight minutes against Celtic, a move that highlighted the squad's lack of attacking options. The 2-1 defeat left Hibs bottom of the Scottish Premiership. Reedijk defended the substitution, saying he wanted to create 'a little bit of chaos,' and praised Hanley's impact as a handful for Celtic's defenders.
However, former midfielder Scott Allan expressed concern, noting the move was not a positive development and pointed to a lack of quality in the side. Ante Suto, who came on earlier, failed to make an impact, and fan dissatisfaction with sporting director Malky Mackay's recruitment persists. Allan stated he has not seen improvements under Reedijk and emphasized the need for Hibs to start winning games.
