The Story in 60 Seconds

Celtic secured a hard-fought 2-1 Scottish Premiership victory against Hibernian at Easter Road to move four points clear at the top of the table. Owen Elding gave the hosts an early lead after two minutes, but an own goal from Jason Kerr quickly equalized before Camilo Duran scored the decisive winner just before half-time. Hibernian's defeat extended their winless league run to seven games under manager Marink Reedijk.

The Scotsman's Lewis Anderson noted that despite Duran reaching double figures for the season, a tactical dilemma persists regarding whether Celtic should deploy him centrally rather than on the right wing. Celtic's win was also dampened by a fresh hamstring concern for defender Alistair Johnston, who was forced off just 21 minutes into his injury comeback.
