Durán’s 10th Secures Celtic Win as Johnston Injury Raises Fresh Concern

A boost to Celtic’s lead that brings renewed scrutiny of squad fitness and their struggling centre‑forward.

Overview

  • Celtic beat Hibernian 2-1 at Easter Road on Sunday to restore a four-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
  • Camilo Durán scored the winner — his 10th league goal — rifling home from the edge of the box just before half-time.
  • Alistair Johnston made a short substitute return but felt a hamstring problem and will need a scan, leaving his fitness status uncertain.
  • Kasper Høgh started but missed multiple presentable chances and extended a prolonged goal drought that keeps pressure on the record signing.
  • Hibernian remain bottom and winless in the league since August, and Celtic’s domestic form now coexists with Europa League setbacks and a thin squad under fixture strain.
