i feel like my heart is still racing from watching it... both teams played so well, but that final penalty shootout by celtic just felt like too much for hibernian to handle 
poor guys they had their chances and came up short 
anyway cant wait to see what the rest of the season holds for these two rivals 
️
! i feel bad for hibs fans tho, they had their hearts racing the whole game 
it's crazy how one little mistake can change everything 
but hey, credit to hibs for going all out and giving it their all 
now let's talk about that penalty shootout, what a nail-biter 
if only they could've gotten that first goal in reg time 
. and when it came down to pens, i thought hibs had this in the bag, but that goalkeepers for celtic was a total game changer 
. still can't believe they won on their fifth attempt though 
and what can you say about the atmosphere when both teams are locked 0-0 after 90 mins? it's like the whole stadium is just waiting for someone to make a mistake 
I guess that's what makes the penalty shootout so thrilling... or should I say, the "I'm-not-going-to-let-my-team-lose" phase 
. Seriously though, Celtic must have been practicing their penalty kicks in their sleep or something because they totally dominated those penalties! 
. 10k+ fans at Easter Road were going wild 
! whoever thought it was a good idea for hibs to keep piling it on in the first half, though?
