South Korean Oh Hyeon-gyu scored twice as Celtic sauntered to three pointsOh Hyeon-gyu scored twice as leaders Celtic swaggered to Scottish Premiership victory over stunned Hibernian.
The South Korea striker - deputising for the rested Kyogo Furuhashi - netted in both halves as his side showed greater urgency than in recent flat performances.
A powerful Matt O'Riley header and a composed Luis Palma penalty - awarded after a controversial VAR check - wrapped up the confident win.
Hibs had their moments and pulled one back with a Christian Doidge tap-in, but stay fifth after being overawed by their opponents' quality.
