The Story in 60 Seconds

Celtic secured a 2-1 victory over Hibernian at a wind-swept Easter Road despite difficult playing conditions caused by Storm Boelo. Hibs took an early lead through Owen Elding after two minutes, but Celtic equalized quickly via a Jason Kerr own goal from Benjamin Nygren's corner. Camilo Duran scored the decisive winner for Celtic with a curling 16-yard strike in the 43rd minute.

Hibs manager Marink Reedijk made the unorthodox tactical move of deploying defender Grant Hanley as a striker late on, though Cameron Carter-Vickers blocked Josh Mulligan's late effort to protect Celtic's lead. Meanwhile, Celtic striker Kasper Hogh struggled and was substituted, while teammate Alistair Johnston suffered an apparent hamstring injury recurrence shortly after coming off the bench.
