Danny Lennon's men looked to be heading for a 1-0 defeat to the Lowland League outfit with Ben Wylie's 52nd minute strike separated the sides. going into the dying moments.
However, Hoops' first-team squad member Hazard brought down substitute David Goodwillie two minutes from time, earning the shot-stopper a straight red card.
Celtic protested the incident happened outside the box, but it fell on deaf ears. That allowed Goodwillie the chance to equalise and he made no mistake to fire the equaliser past Ryan Mullen, who had come on in place of Owen Moffat to go in goal.
The Bully Wee fielded a number of fringe players, with former ex-Celtic youngsters Paul Kennedy and Kieran McGrath climbing off the bench for the hosts in the second half. Club captain Goodwillie was introduced for the final 13 minutes and made a big impact.
Celtic handed the likes of young starlets Owen Moffat and Dane Murray starts.
