The full picture
Celtic reasserted themselves at the top of the Scottish Premiership by coming from behind to defeat Hibernian 2-1 at Easter Road, with Camilo Durán scoring his 10th goal of the season. The win restored their four-point cushion over Rangers. Hibernian took an early lead through Owen Elding, but Celtic equalized with a Jason Kerr own goal and took the lead just before halftime.
The victory marked Celtic's ninth win in 10 league games. Hibernian, on the other hand, suffered a third straight defeat under their recently appointed boss, Marink Reedijk. Celtic had some concerns as Alistair Johnston's return from injury was cut short and Kasper Hogh failed to score again.
Rangers, who are four points behind Celtic, secured a 4-0 win over St Johnstone at Ibrox, with Kevin Kelsy scoring twice. Derek McInnes praised his team's performance, saying they were 'brilliant' at times, but noted that they didn't capitalize on their dominance in the first half.

Camilo Durán moved into double figures for the season as Celtic reasserted themselves at the top of the Premiership by coming from behind to defeat beleaguered Hibernian 2-1 at windy Easter Road. After another Europa League setback at home to Celta Vigo on Thursday, the champions bounced back with a victory that restored their four-point cushion over Rangers at the top.
