Tam McManus says Hearts are "light years" ahead of Hibs - but feels Lee Johnson still deserves time. Meanwhile, Hibs' recruitment has appeared scattergun in comparison and has earned widespread criticism. Speaking in the Daily Record, he said: "It pains me to say it but the Jambos are light years ahead at the moment.

Who is Tomoki Iwata? Celtic transfer target and J-League's most valuable player profiled

With reports suggesting Iwata could become a Celtic player next month, Football Scotland has profiled the talented star. In his first season with Yokohama, Iwata made 42 appearances in all competitions as Yokohama finished second behind Kawasaki Frontale. But Iwata shone during the 2022 J-League season, as Yokohama won the title and he picked up the title of 'Most Valuable player' last month. Postecoglou uses similar tactics at Celtic, so Iwata will be accustomed to that philosophy - if he moves to Parkhead. “All I’ve been thinking about is improving as a player and winning the championship,” Iwata said.

3 talking points as Celtic thrash Hibs as Ange Postecoglou faces Rangers dilemma

Ange Postecoglou's men weren't at their free flowing best throughout the encounter but they showcased their frightening ability to put Hibs to the sword.

The versatile attacker is one of the most underrated members of Postecoglou's squad but he's nailed on to start against Rangers. With a trip to Ibrox on the horizon on Monday, Postecoglou faces a dilemma over whether to bring Jota back into the starting eleven. The tactics that manager's adopt against Celtic has been a major talking point in recent weeks.
