Celtic boss Martin O’Neill full of praise for his players’ resilience in ‘best win of the season so far’

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill praised his team's resilience after fighting back to claim a 2-1 win against Hibs at Easter Road. Despite going behind early amid severe conditions caused by Storm Boelo, Celtic rallied, with Camilo Duran scoring the winning goal just before halftime. The victory maintained Celtic's four-point advantage over Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, which O'Neill regarded as their best win of the season so far.

The match saw defender Alistair Johnston suffer a suspected hamstring injury recurrence, leaving the pitch only 20 minutes after his second-half return from a two-and-a-half-month absence. Additionally, £11 million record signing Kasper Hogh extended his goal drought after being substituted during the second half. Hibs manager Marink Reedijk noted positives despite his side suffering a third consecutive defeat and remaining bottom of the table.
