Youths move to a point from title celebration

Those results put Celtic twelve points ahead of Rangers who have four games left to play. The Ibrox kids haven’t won any of their last four games with Celtic now needing just a point from their two remaining matches, against Aberdeen and Hearts to put the title beyond reach.

There was no sign of title nerves as Celtic took the game to Hibs straight from the kick-off with Spence sending a glancing header looping over the bar in the fifth minute following a great cut-back from Forest.

Celtic were dominating the game with the midfield trio of Darren McCauley, Callum Bagshaw and Keatings all interchaning and linking well with the strikers.

The goal that Celtic had been threatening duly arrived in the 28th minute and was another spectacular strike from Keatings.

Richie Towell’s throw in was returned by Sean Fitzharris to the full-back who slipped the ball to Keatings, after sidestepping one Hibs player Keatings powered an unstoppable 25 yard drive low beyond the Hibs keeper.

The goal was no more than Celtic deserved with Forest almost doubling the lead three minutes later but his 18 yard shot was blocked by the Hibs keeper.

Bagshaw, Forest and Spence all had chances to increase the lead before the break with the slick passing and movement carving open the Hibs defence.
