Hibernian boss Tony Mowbray admitted that the introduction of Celtic's new £3.5million signing Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink had proved decisive in the Bhoys' 2-1 win.
The Dutch international netted the winner with 24 minutes left to play, with Maciej Zurawski having equalised Scott Brown's early goal just four minutes earlier.
Mowbray said: "When Celtic go direct they are a threat and the big lad will cause people problems.
"They are a talented football team with talented football players, but I am disappointed we didn't defend better.
"We dropped too deep and gave them space to play. We could have gone 2-0 up as we had two great chances which makes it a different game.
"But it was probably the right result on the balance of play. Celtic in the second half showed us how to pass the ball."
