Andrews' late winner delivers a big title setback to O'Neill's Bhoys
KAI ANDREWS scored a late winner as Hibernian delivered another blow to 10-man Celtic's William Hill Premiership title hopes.
The substitute guided a composed finish into the bottom corner from the edge of the box in the 87th minute in what was a rare second-half attack for the visitors.
The defeat leaves third-placed Celtic six points adrift of leaders Hearts and only four ahead of Motherwell.
Celtic fans had sensed an important day in the title race, with Rangers trailing by two goals at Livingston as their team launched wave after wave of attacks after Benjamin Nygren cancelled out Felix Passlack’s opener on the stroke of halftime.
But Auston Trusty received a VAR-assisted red card in the 74th minute following an off-the-ball incident and on-loan Coventry midfielder Andrews produced another twist in the dramatic Premiership title race.
