Jiro Jarosik saved Celtic from defeat against Hibs but it was another miserable and depressing day for the champions.
A day on from being drawn against Barcelona in the Champions League Celtic trailed to David Murphy's stunning 20th minute goal for most of the match.
Little went right for the out of form Celts with substitute Jarosik salavaging a point when Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink knocked a Scott Brown corner into Jarosik's path.

Collins has had an eventful 13 months in charge of Hibs, winning the CIS Cup, surviving a players revolt, selling almost £10m worth of players and beating both Celtic and Rangers this season.
There was an uneasy truce called after the players revolt with many players unhappy with Collins style of management.
With Hibs coming to play Celtic on Saturday who knows who'll be in charge but as soon as word broke of Collins resignation some bookies suspended betting on who'll be the next Scotland manager...

Bad loss at Inverness
Despite going two up and looking very comfortable at the Tulloch Stadium Celtic suffered their third defeat of the season.
Two goals in under two minutes, both quality headers, from Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink should have set up a routine victory but it wasn't to be.
Self inflicted problems and very debatable decisions from referee Alan Freeman leave Celtic with some serious work to do to win the title for a third consecutive season.
At fault for all three goals to a greater or lesser extend was Steven Pressley. Possibly unlucky at the Inverness penalty Elvis nevertheless was caught out badly positionally before the penalty was awarded.
For the Inverness equaliser he was caught short chasing shadows from a corner allowing David Proctor to bullet home a header.
After the soft penalty handed to ICT Freeman along with his flag waving friend then disallowed a goal from Scott McDonald that was a borderline decision... the type that we don't seem to be getting much going in our favour this season... if any.
Stephen McManus, looked to be carrying an injury hindering his movement, was then caught out for the ICT winner with Elvis 'covering' allowing the ball to bounce off his leg to present Donald Cowie with what proved to be the winner.
There are clearly problems throughout the team, especially in defence but surely the resumption of the McManus-O'Dea partnership is essential to the title defence.
