Brendan Rodgers hailed Celtic's fighting spirit and said their 3-1 win over Hibernian was down to building on past success.

The Scottish Premiership champions found themselves behind to Martin Boyle's smart finish. Auston Trusty failed to clear his lines, and the Australian coolly slotted in the opener 25 minutes in.

However, Celtic flipped the script before the break. Nicolas Kuhn brilliantly equalised, latching onto a long ball over the top from Anthony Ralston before rounding the goalkeeper.

Adam Idah then put the hosts in front on the stroke of half-time with a powerful strike, scoring in a third consecutive top-flight match for the first time since February.

Hibs started the second half strongly, but their fight was ended in the 58th minute as Reo Hatate stroked in their third just before the hour.

After recording their 28th win of the season, Rodgers was delighted with how Celtic responded to going behind, but never doubted they would get back into the match.

"The performance level overall was excellent," he told BBC Scotland. "We went one behind, but we were doing so many good things in the game.

"We stayed calm. My big message was about building on our recent success, because that's what the club is all about. We want to go into [the Scottish Cup final] in a really good way. For that, we need to work.

"That's why we have success here, because we build on past success and don't settle and accept it."

Celtic's victory means they have now scored 106 goals in the league this season, netting 61 of those on home soil.

Celtic recorded a seventh win in eight meetings with Hibs, who remain third as they continue to push for Europe, though Aberdeen could close the three-point gap to third if they beat Rangers on Sunday.
