Ali Crawford’s second-half strike gave Hamilton an historic 1-0 victory over Celtic yesterday as the Accies enjoyed their first win at Parkhead in 76 years.
The Hoops struggled for most of the first half against a confident visiting side with returning striker John Guidetti missing the one real chance created.
Hamilton midfielder Crawford stunned Celtic Park when he drove the visitors into the lead in the 49th minute before the visitors came under siege.
The champions huffed and puffed and missed numerous chances but Hamilton held on to record their first win in the east end of Glasgow since 1938 to go top of the table.
Boos rang out around the stadium at full-time, most of them aimed at boss Ronny Deila who has struggled to convince the Hoops fans since taking over from Neil Lennon in the summer. This result will only provide further ammunition to his detractors.
There was not a big crowd at Celtic Park but the home fans were glad to see the return of Guidetti.
The Swedish striker, on loan from Manchester City, had missed the home Europa League win over Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday night as he was not registered in time for the competition.
