The Story in 60 Seconds

Celtic overcame adverse weather conditions and an early deficit to secure a 2-1 victory over Hibernian at Easter Road, maintaining a four-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership. Owen Elding gave Hibernian an early lead inside three minutes, but an own goal from Josh Kerr quickly leveled the score before Camilo Duran struck late in the first half to seal the win for Martin O'Neill's side.

The result compounded the struggles of Hibs manager Marink Reedijk, who remains without a win as his side sits at the bottom of the table. For Celtic, Duran reached double figures for the season following his summer move from Qarabag, although the match brought injury concern as full-back Alistair Johnston was forced off just 20 minutes into his comeback appearance.
