CAMILO Duran scored his 10th goal of the season as Celtic recovered from an early setback to beat Hibernian and restore their four-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

Owen Elding lashed Hibs in front following a quick free-kick by Joe Newell, a late entrant to the starting line-up after illness beset Martin Boyle.

But the lead was short-lived as Jason Kerr headed an own goal from a Celtic corner two minutes later.

Thibaut Klidje could not keep his lob down after capitalising on more slackness in the visiting defence and, within moments, Duran swept in Celtic’s second from a loose ball near the edge of the box.

Mika Baur tested Hibs goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger from distance as Celtic tried to put the game to bed in the second half and Cameron Carter-Vicker blocked Josh Mulligan’s late shot for the hosts.

Hibs remain a point adrift at the foot of the table, having not won in the league for two months. For Martin O’Neill’s defending champions, it’s nine wins out of 10 in the Premiership.
