Celtic survive late scare to seal third league victory in succession

Odsonne Edouard scored twice for the league champions.

CELTIC REMAINED IN second place in the Scottish Premiership after a 4-2 home win over Hibernian. 

Brendan Rodgers’ men are still three points off Hearts following goals from Tom Rogic, Olivier Ntcham and Odsonne Edouard (2).

Celtic raced into a 2-0 lead but lost Scott Brown to an injury after 20 minutes. 

Florian Kamberi reduced the gap in the 63rd minute to spark off a furious spell of action.

Edouard restored Celtic’s two-goal lead seven minutes later, but Martin Boyle hit the net for the visitors almost immediately. Edouard made the win safe late on to seal a third league victory in succession for the Glasgow outfit.
