Adam Idah scored two penalties on his first start for CelticAdam Idah completed his penalty double with a 92nd-minute winner as Celtic snatched a dramatic victory over Hibernian to restore their three-point lead at the Scottish Premiership summit.
The on-loan Norwich striker opened the scoring inside 10 minutes on his first start after Nectarios Triantis clashed heads with Alistair Johnston to concede his second spot-kick in as many games.
However, as has so often been the case this season, it appeared Celtic's profligacy would cost them, as Dylan Levitt spectacularly hauled the home side level with a sensational strike from the edge of the box.
But Idah was again given the opportunity from the penalty spot - against the run of play - as Kyogo Furuhashi was judged to be fouled by Joe Newell inside the box after VAR intervention.
Nick Montgomery's side threw everything they could at Celtic late on, but ultimately remain in seventh spot and their winless run extends to seven games, while Brendan Rodgers celebrated a first win at Easter Road at the fifth attempt.
More to follow.
