Watch the two first half Celtic goals from Easter Road from Maeda and Engels | OneFootball

Daizen Maeda and Arne Engels both scored for Celtic in the space of 90 seconds midway through the first half at Easter Road to give Celtic a 2-0 lead over Hibs in the Scottish Premiership as the Champions close in on Hearts at the top of the table…

Should Celtic see out the second half without a massive collapse, Martin O’Neill will have taken Celtic to within two point of the current leaders, with Celtic also having a game in hand.

Yang was a constant threat down the left wing for Celtic and set up Maeda for an early opener which was correctly flagged for offside against the Korean flying machine. Hatate set up Maeda on 27 minutes after Hibs conceded possession at the edge their penalty area and after Daizen got Reo’s assist in Rotterdam, Hatate returned the compliment in Leith to open the scoring.

Within a minute the Celtic lead was doubled when Lang crossed and Arne Engels bravery won the day as he headed into the Hibs net taking a boot in the face from Jamie McGrath at the same time.

Saracchi hit the post for Celtic just before the interval in a match that Hibs played with forward intent and were unlucky not to score when Martin Boyle missed a great chance.

A great position for Celtic at the interval. Here are the two goals from Easter Road where the half-time score is Hibs 0 Celtic 2…

Colby Donovan has picked up a knock and has been replaced by Anthony Ralston at the break.
