Celtic responded from going behind at home once again in the Premiership to restore their nine point advantage over Rangers.
The Hoops suffered an early setback to a Josh Ginnelly goal in the last home outing against Hearts and this time capital rivals Hibs struck first in the end end with Josh Campbell netting from the spot for the ten-men after Elie Youan had been dismissed. It's not often an Ange Postecoglou side goes into the half-time break behind but they responded within six second half minutes with Jota firing home from 12-yards to level things up.
The Hoops' dominance against their ten-man opponents finally paid off in the final ten minutes with Oh Hyeon-gyu scoring the all important second after climbing off the bench with fellow sub Sead Haksabanovic putting the game out of sight with a brilliant curled effort deep into second-half stoppage time. Here's three things we learned from Parkhead.

Injury concern
Reo Hatate was forced off after 12 minutes at Parkhead.
The midfielder was visably gutted as he lefthe park park alongside the physio with what appeared to look like a hamstring injury.
Not slight worry for the Hoops faithful with Hatate a real key player for the champions.
Ange Postecoglou - like the support - will be praying its nothing too serious.
Mooy a miss
Aaron Mooy has been sensational of late for Celtic.
And his absence was felt in this one with Matt O'Riley handed his big chance to stake a claim.
The injury blow to Hatate after 12 minutes meant that two of the main three central midfield players were NOT in action.
Despite Celtic's strength and depth, the Aussie midfielder's not involved was very noticeable.
Title charge
That's a 27th win of the season for Celtic in just 29 outings.
As for the goals tally, that now stands at a whopping 93 with Oh Hyeon-gyu the hero on the day.
Rangers won earlier today to remain unbeaten in the league under Michael Beale but Ange Postecoglou and his troops are matching them stride for stride to keep the nine point lead at the top.
Back to back league titles are looking more and more likely as the weeks pass. Just nine outings in the Premiership now remain for the Hoops this campaign.
With Treble hopes alive and kicking it's a huge period of the season.
It wasn't as straight forward as other games with ten-man Hibs taking the lead - but the champions recovered to claim three points.
