Celtic Edge Hibs to Go Level at the Summit

On Sunday, Celtic claimed a 2-1 victory over 10-man Hibernian at Easter Road, moving level on points with Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts.
Hibernian midfielder Jamie McGrath received a red card in the 20th minute following a VAR check on his challenge against Alistair Johnston, marking the team's fourth dismissal in three matches.
Daizen Maeda broke the deadlock in the 41st minute, but Hibernian captain Joe Newell scored a contentious equalizer during first-half stoppage time that stood after a lengthy VAR review.
Substitute Kelechi Iheanacho secured the winner in the 72nd minute, chesting down a Kieran Tierney corner to slot home his seventh goal of the season.
The Scottish Premiership title race continues Monday, when league leaders Hearts face rivals Rangers at Tynecastle in a game in hand.
