Celtic edge Hibernian in thriller
Kelechi Iheanacho came off the bench to score a dramatic late winner as Celtic defeated 10-man Hibernian 2-1 at Easter Road.
The victory moves the defending champions level on points with league leaders Hearts, setting up a potentially historic finish to the Scottish Premiership season.
Hibernian played much of the match with a numerical disadvantage after Jamie McGrath was sent off early for a reckless challenge, yet they managed to equalize before Iheanacho's decisive strike.
Celtic interim manager Martin O'Neill acknowledged his team were their 'own worst enemies' at times but praised their resilience in securing the vital result.
