Celtic Secure 3-1 Victory Over Hibernian to Reach Scottish League Cup Quarterfinals

Posted : 18 August 2024

Daizen Maeda stepped up as a stand-in striker for Celtic, scoring twice early on in their 3-1 victory over Hibernian, securing a spot in the Scottish League Cup quarterfinals. With regular striker Kyogo Furuhashi absent, Maeda made the most of his rare opportunity to play as a centre-forward, netting two composed goals within the first 15 minutes.

 

Hibernian briefly threatened a comeback when Mykola Kuharevich scored a stunning diving header before halftime, reducing the deficit. However, any hopes of a Hibs revival were dashed in the second half when Nicolas Kuhn blocked an attempted clearance from Hibs goalkeeper Josef Bursik, restoring Celtic's two-goal cushion.

 

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers praised his team's performance, particularly highlighting the speed, tempo, and quality of their attacking play. With this win, Celtic advanced to face Championship side Falkirk in the quarterfinals, while other matches will see holders Rangers take on Dundee, Aberdeen facing Spartans, and Dundee United clashing with Motherwell.

 

As Celtic continue their quest for silverware, they will be eager to build on this momentum and maintain their strong form in the upcoming rounds of the competition.
