Hibs dent 10-man Celtic's title hopes with late winner

Kai Andrews scored a late winner as Hibernian delivered another blow to 10-man Celtic’s William Hill Premiership title hopes.

The Hibernian substitute guided a composed finish into the bottom corner from the edge of the box in the 87th minute in what was a rare second-half attack for the visitors.

The 2-1 defeat left 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 as their team launched wave after wave of attacks after 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 following an off-the-ball incident and on-loan Coventry midfielder Andrews produced another twist in the dramatic Premiership title race.

Worse was to follow for the home fans as Rangers equalised in West Lothian to move two points above Celtic before the rivals meet at Ibrox next Sunday.
