Sunday 18 February 2018 20:05, UK
Hibernian saw off second-placed Aberdeen 2-0 at Easter Road to secure their third Scottish Premiership win in a row on Saturday.
The victory for Neil Lennon's side moved them to within two points of third-placed Rangers, but the Light Blues can close the gap to Aberdeen to just one point if they win at Hamilton on Sunday.
Martin Boyle headed Hibs in front a minute into the second period after Dons goalkeeper Freddie Woodman had saved Jamie MacLaren's effort, and Swiss forward Florian Kamberi volleyed in the second on the hour mark from close range.
Celtic can now stretch their lead at the top of the table to 11 points if they beat St Johnstone on Sunday.
