Durán Winner Seals Celtic's 2-1 Victory at Easter Road

The win keeps Celtic top of the Premiership, exposing lingering weakness in Europe alongside Kasper Høgh's 15-game goal drought.

Overview

  • Celtic beat Hibernian 2-1 at Easter Road on Sunday, with Camilo Durán's curled strike just before half-time proving the match winner.
  • Hibernian took an early lead from a quickly taken free-kick finished by Owen Elding, but Jason Kerr diverted a corner into his own net within minutes to level the game.
  • Durán was the match standout, scored his 10th goal of the season and was substituted later in the second half after O'Neill made limited changes following Thursday's Europa League defeat.
  • Kasper Høgh started but missed clear chances, was replaced in the second half and now stretches to 15 matches without a goal for club or country.
  • The result gives Celtic another league victory and maintains their lead, yet their recent Europa League loss, ongoing rotation pressures and Alistair Johnston's injury underline selection and fitness questions to monitor next.
