Hughes boss bemoans lack of Hibernian killer instinct

Hibernian boss John Hughes felt his side failed to capitalise on their lead, and eventually slumped to a 3-2 defeat at Celtic. "I felt we sat back on it a little bit," Hughes said.

"To be 2-1 up with 10 minutes to go at Celtic Park, there is a real disappointment we did not take something from the game.

"I felt our passing was sloppy, we didn't pass it with pace and we didn't have the belief we could go and score a third.

"But there were real positives, young (Paul) Hanlon was immense. He has only trained one day. (David) Wotherspoon the same, he had only trained two days.

"They were spirited in everything they did. The disappointment is that we're conceding goals, we are leaking too many."
