Nick Montgomery is staring down Hibs acid test and there's bother ahead if one area isn't fixed - Tam McManus

Hibs bashing isn't on my agenda but they're making it increasingly after failing to land a glove on Celtic.

A Hoops side which have already dropped points at home to Motherwell and St Johnstone this season. Sometimes the blame lies with the manager and on other occasions? You let a dressing room fight it out amongst themselves to try and find a solution for defeats and disappointments. I'll get to that nuclear option shortly. Celtic's 4-1 midweek to my old club was depressingly routine and once again no case could be made for a defence which badly needs revamped in the upcoming transfer window.

The truth is that it could and maybe should have been an even greater hiding at Celtic Park as they were in danger of conceding six or seven. When you lose four goals and it feels like light relief then you know there's a problem. Look back to the game before that against Aberdeen where they got away with it big time as somehow they defeated the Dons but if it hadn't been for the brilliance of keeper David Marshall then it would have more than likely been a defeat. .

Hibs have been getting away with for the last few weeks and it's largely down to the former Scotland number one being in great form. Wins against Dundee and Kilmarnock before that were also camouflaged by Marshall's excellence and he had the game of his life against Aberdeen who should have scored at least three or four times.

There was no hiding place against Celtic and I thought the entire back four were poor. Lewis Miller, Will Fish, Rocky Bushiri and Lewis Stevenson were exposed time and time again and Nick Montgomery will know the transfer window can't come soon enough.

Stevenson was in at left back because Jordan Obita is out injured but the two centre-backs,
