First goal
Aaron Mooy’s first two goals for Celtic helped the cinch Premiership leaders to a 4-0 victory over Hibernian at Easter Road.
Hibs made a positive start but the Australia midfielder fired the visitors into the lead from 12 yards in the 28th minute.
Daizen Maeda missed a sitter before scoring a glorious effort in the 36th minute and Hibs missed two good chances before Mooy converted a penalty just before the hour.
Kyogo Furuhashi soon added a fourth but there was concern for the visiting fans when left-back Greg Taylor walked off with an injury immediately afterwards – and five days before the champions face Rangers.
“Aaron’s been knocking on the door in terms of getting a goal because he’s been getting into some good areas and I know he’s been desperate to get one,” coach Ange Postecoglou said.
“The World Cup was a really positive one for us. The boys who’ve come back from that have come back with a real positive experience, and with Aaron it’s just been a matter of getting him fit.
