Brendan Rodgers has insisted he was pleased with Celtic's performance against Hibernian, despite being held to a stalemate at Parkhead.
The Celtic manager didn't have any complaints with the endeavour of his squad as they were held to a goalless draw in the Scottish Premiership.
Celtic now sit second in the table with Hearts two points clear after their win over Falkirk at Tynecastle.
"I was happy with the performance," said Rodgers on BBC. "Every metric in the game, I think, we were really dominant.
"We've had a couple of nil-nils in the qualification games where we never really threatened, but I thought today our football was really good.
"We just lacked that killer instinct in the box."

He continued: "From a performance perspective, I can't be too displeased; we just needed that goal to make the breakthrough.
"We had big chances, I don't think there is any doubt about that.
"It was just that final touch we were lacking. We had 26 attempts in the box but couldn't find the back of the net, and when we did it was offside."
Asked whether he would disagree with criticisms over recruitment being used as a reason for the dropped points, Rodgers added: "Well, I can't affect it now, so it's irrelevant.
"My focus is on the group of players that are here who are full of endeavour and hard work.
"The players that are here, we have to make the best with them."
