After a total of 123 league appearances, he moved to the Scottish first division club Hibernian Edinburgh in June 2000 . In the team coached by Alex McLeish , he became a crowd favorite. With the Hibs he reached the Scottish Cup final in the first year , which was lost to Celtic Glasgow . In August 2002 the defender moved to Celtic for a fee of £ 1.3 million . In Glasgow he was able to establish the defender as a regular in the squad due to his solid defensive game. He benefited from injuries to other players in the squad.

In the following two years Laursen won the Scottish Championship and the Cup twice with the Bhoys , but lost his place in the starting eleven and was only used sporadically.
