If Jack Ross was hoping for a quiet start to 2021, the Easter Road boss has been left sorely disappointed following the chaos that surrounding their visit to Celtic Park on Monday evening.
Christopher Jullien's positive coronavirus test forced 13 members of the Parkhead squad plus manager Neil Lennon and John Kennedy into self-isolation before the game, but that only told half the story of what will surely go down as one of the most controversial Scottish Premiership matches of all time.
The Hibees' request for the available Celtic players to be re-tested fell on deaf ears, putting the contest in serious jeopardy until the SPFL threatened the Leith outfit with sanctions if they failed to fulfil the fixture.
In the end, Kevin Nisbet's stoppage time equaliser secured a point from Glasgow's East End, but only after David Turnbull's spectacular opener.
The men in green and white are likely to find the build up to Saturday's visit of Kilmarnock slightly less tumultuous, but Alex Dyer's side arrive to face a Hibs team with just one win in their last six.
The signing of Jackson Irvine comes as a boost to the hosts' prospects of reigniting their European charge.
