Larsson puts Bhoys back on top

Hibernian 1 Celtic 2

Henrik Larsson fired Martin O’Neill’s men back to the top of the Bank of Scotland Premier League at Easter Road today.

But their hopes of being there at the end of the season suffered a setback when Bobo Balde was stupidly sent off to rule him out of the Old Firm showdown.

The Swedish striker had just completed their impressive fightback against a side flying from their 9-0 midweek demolition of Montrose in the CIS Insurance Cup after Alan Thompson had hit from the spot again to cancel out Mathias Doumbe’s opener.
