Celtic extended their unbeaten Scottish Premiership run to 22 games with a 4-0 victory over Hibernian at Easter Road, yesterday.

Kris Commons opened the scoring with his 20th goal of the season but the champions had goalkeeper Fraser Forster to thank for keeping Hibs at bay with several good saves as Terry Butcher’s men fought their way back into the match.

However, a brilliant free-kick from Virgil van Dijk in the 76th minute sealed the Hoops’ 12th straight domestic victory.

Substitute Teemu Pukki, on at the interval for Nir Biton, put some gloss on the scoreline with a terrific drive eight minutes from time before Commons scored with a penalty after Hibs defender Alan Maybury had fouled Pukki.

The win took Celtic 15 points ahead of second-placed Aberdeen with two games in hand over the Dons, and they also racked up their 10th domestic clean sheet as they stride over the horizon.
