Not for the first time Scott Brown was the Celtic hero with Chris Sutton acknowledging the contribution from the Celtic skipper.
A late equaliser from Marios Ogboe of Hamilton would have floored most opponents but throughout more than a decade at Celtic Brown has come up against and overcome adversity.
At Kilmarnock in February he came up with a stoppage time winner and repeated that trick tonight as he scored an injury time winner to earn Celtic full points.
Scott Brown pretty influential this season…

While Celtic were edging past Hamilton, Steven Gerrard’s side were chucking away a two-goal lead at Pittodrie to allow the hoops to create a two-point lead at the top of the SPFL table.
Neil Lennon joined his skipper on the pitch at the final whistle as the two men celebrated Celtic’s 11th successive win across three competitions.
Celtic’s focus will now switch to Hampden on Sunday as the look to win the League Cup for the fourth season running boosted by their skipper’s late intervention tonight.
