The Observer Scottish Premiership Celtic moved into second place in the Premiership with a frenetic win over Hibernian. Neil Lennon’s side were picked off in the first half when the midfielders Tom Rogic and Olivier Ntcham scored, with the champions also hitting the woodwork three times. Florian Kamberi reduced the deficit with a thunderous drive, only for Odsonne Edouard to restore the two-goal advantage. The winger Martin Boyle then made it 3-2 but Edouard’s second goal with three minutes left kept Celtic three points behind Hearts, who beat Aberdeen 2-1 at Tynecastle. Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson in the goals while Juventus lose 100% record Read more Brendan Rodgers believes Celtic are getting back to their best. He told BBC Scotland: “In the summer, we wanted to go into another gear as a club and we didn’t. We stood still. Slowly from then we’ve been starting to move forward each week. Now I sense us getting that fluency and energy back, like you saw today. “I thought we were outstanding, scoring four goals and hit the woodwork four times and had more opportunities where, with more finesse with the final pass, we could’ve scored more.” Celtic, who continued the fine form witnessed in a 6-0 thrashing of St Johnstone in their previous league match, had Scott Brown booked in the second minute for a foul on Emerson Hyndman. Stephen Mallan’s curling free-kick slipped just past Craig Gordon’s right-hand post. The home side came back and Callum McGregor’s cross found Edouard but his angled drive on the slide clipped the outside of the post. Darren McGregor, back for Hibs for the first time since August after recovering from a knee injury, was booked for a foul on James Forrest and Callum McGregor’s whipped in free-kick almost caught out the Hibs’ goalkeeper Adam Bogdan before hitting the bar on the way over. Celtic’s first goal came when Rogic played a one-two with Forrest outside the Hibs box and glided left before bending the ball into the corner of the net past the flailing Bogdan. As the play raced from end to end the Hibs keeper produced a fine save from Ntcham’s powerful 25-yard drive but in the 19th minute the French midfielder took a perfectly weighted Rogic pass and from 16 yards guided the ball low into the corner. Moments later, Brown limped off to be replaced by the winger Scott Sinclair with Callum McGregor seamlessly dropping into midfield. Celtic went close when Bogdan did well to parry a drive from Edouard after he had been played in by Ntcham, and after Sinclair crashed the loose ball off the post, Forest fired the rebound wide from 12 yards. Three minutes from the break Gordon was required to make a decent save from Mallan’s long-distance thunderbolt, then made a brilliant stop to deny Boyle’s header from an Efe Ambrose cross. Soon after the restart Bogdan had to race from his line to thwart Sinclair, but just after the hour mark Hibs were back in the game. Football League: Leeds continue to slip, Macclesfi

Here's some reaction from today's 1-0 victory over Rangers. Celtic dominated the game from start to finish, with Olivier Ntcham's goal giving us all 3 points. The score stayed at 1-0 thanks mainly to the Rangers keeper Alan McGregor who - when he wasn't kicking out at Celtic players - made a couple of good saves. We also hit the woodwork on 4 occasions and there was little Rangers could do to stem the flow of Celtic's play. Time for the international break now and despite a turbulent few weeks off the park, we've shown that the media talk and hype was once again misplaced. New format to some of the interviews today.
