Hibernian stuns Celtic as Rangers level late on
Hearts opened up a four-point atop the SPFL table after beating Falkirk, as both Celtic and Rangers faltered in their chase of the surprise league-leader.
Celtic was stunned by Hibernian, which won 2-1 in Glasgow thanks to Kai Andrews' 87th-minute goal, while Rangers pegged Livingston back to a 2-2 draw.
Martin O'Neill's team, beaten in the Europa League by Stuttgart on Friday, fell behind to Felix Passlack's effort midway through the first half at Celtic Park.
Celtic equalised through Benjamin Nygren on the stroke of half-time, yet the Hoops could not keep up the momentum after the break, and their task was made tougher when Auston Trusty received a straight red card in the 74th minute.
Hibernian made its numerical advantage count, with Ante Suto laying it back for Andrews to seal its first win at Celtic since January 2010.
Rangers, meanwhile, had to snatch a point from the jaws of defeat at lowly Livingston.
Danny Rohl's team found itself 2-0 down, with Brooklyn Kabongolo and Lewis Smith on target for the host, but Livingston went down to 10 when Cristian Montano saw red on the hour.
Emmanuel Fernandez dragged Rangers back into it, and Mikey Moore – who thought he might have won a penalty in second-half stoppage time – clinched an 88th-minute equaliser.
Rangers are four points back from Hearts in second, with Celtic in third after suffering its first league defeat since going down in the Old Firm derby in January. The arch-rivals of Scottish football face off next week.
