Late Hibs Winner Deals Blow to Celtic's Title Hopes

Kai Andrews scored a late winner as Hibernian inflicted a 2-1 defeat on 10-man Celtic, further damaging the Hoops' William Hill Premiership title hopes. The substitute guided a composed finish into the bottom corner from the edge of the box in the 87th minute, a rare second-half attack for the visitors.

Former Sligo Rovers player Owen Elding played an hour for Hibernian before being substituted. The defeat leaves third-placed Celtic six points adrift of leaders Hearts and only four ahead of Motherwell.

Celtic fans had sensed an important day in the title race, with Rangers trailing by two goals at Livingston. Benjamin Nygren cancelled out Felix Passlack's opener on the stroke of half-time, but Auston Trusty received a VAR-assisted red card in the 74th minute for an off-the-ball incident.

On-loan Coventry midfielder Andrews then produced another twist in the dramatic title race. Worse followed for the home fans as Rangers equalised in West Lothian to move two points above Celtic before the rivals meet at Ibrox next Sunday.
