Hibernian 1-0 Celtic
Last updated on .From the section Football
Leigh Griffiths' 14th goal of the season gave Hibernian their first Easter Road win over Celtic since 2008.
The on-loan Wolves striker gave the hosts an early lead from a tight angle after Paul Hanlon's long ball.
Eoin Doyle should have made it two moments later, but headed straight at Fraser Forster from six yards.
Celtic laid siege on the Hibs goal for the last 20 minutes with home keeper Ben Williams saving brilliantly from Paddy McCourt and Gary Hooper.
Hibernian went into this match having taken a point from the Hoops in a 2-2 draw at Celtic Park in September.
However, Celtic had not lost at Easter Road since a 2-0 defeat in December 2008.

Hibs made Celtic aware of their attacking threat within the opening five minutes, with Doyle and Paul Cairney both driving into the box to fluster the visiting defence.
In the eighth minute, Mikael Lustig had Celtic's first shot on target with a right-footed curling free-kick from 25-yards which Williams held comfortably.
But 60 seconds later Hibs took the lead.
Griffiths nipped in between Thomas Rogne and Forster to latch on to a long ball from Hanlon. His touch took him beyond Forster and from a tight angle he rolled the ball into an empty net.
Georgios Samaras almost replied immediately for Celtic, hitting the post after Lustig's cut-back - but the whistle had gone for offside.
Doyle should have doubled Hibs' lead on 13 minutes, heading Griffiths' free-kick straight into the arms of Forster from six yards.
Former Hibee Scott Brown put a delicious cross into the box for Lassad Nouioui, but the Tunisian could not rise enough to meet the ball.
Efe Ambrose's surging run drew a foul from Gary Deegan, who received a yellow card for the infringement. Nouioui curled the free-kick harmlessly over from the corner of the box.
Doyle's menace continued as he smashed a cross off the arm of Rogne from close-range, but referee Craig Thomson waved away the penalty claims.
And in the 42nd minute, it was again Doyle who gave Rogne a headache, charging down the Norwegian's clearance before blazing a right-foot effort over the bar.
The second half was only a minute old when Lustig put an inviting ball across the six-yard box, although it was just too far ahead of Nouioui and Samaras.
On 56 minutes, Doyle did well on the right by-line to cut back for Griffiths, who in turn teed up Deegan in the box, but his scuffed shot caused no harm.
Swedish international Lustig then collected the ball from Samaras on the edge of the box and looked for Nouioui when he should have shot himself.
With 20 minutes remaining, Hibs captain James McPake came up with a vital headed clearance after Lustig's cross seemed destined for Samaras.
Substitute Beram Kayal should have done better with Hooper's lay-off on 74 minutes, but blasted over.
Victor Wanyama then tried to take matters his own hands with an arrowed shot which had Williams worried on its way over the bar.
The introduction of McCourt gave Hibs' defence more to think about, especially when Williams saved well from the Irishman's thumped effort at the near-post.
In the final 10 minutes, Ambrose's kneed attempt from a corner narrowly missed, then Williams saved expertly from Hooper's deflected shot.
And despite continued pressure heaped on their defence by Neil Lennon's men, Hibs held on to get their first Scottish Premier League win in five games.

Lower (or even the lowest) go on to Youtube or something.
Bears get grumpy at this time of year as they need to take a nap or hibernate.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGe-yFehBhM
You seem to be accusing me of being blinded by hatred and of being a bigot and not being able to hold a sensible discussion but it seems to me like you are the only one here throwing insults about.
be patient.Jim Traynor is working on a new The Rangers web site.The problem with the font and the background being the same shade of blue has made posts impossible.But as it is a steam driven site,smoke signals will be used
during daylight hours and wind permitting.
Jim says to "Stay aff the BBC big boys talk sites and save your meter cards".
this is Scottish Premier club comments site.
Would all fans of very lower divisions please go away.
Also the truth hurts eh
I've just seen why you've brought your irrelevant comments onto this forum. You're unable to praise your World-beaters performance yesterday because the BBC don't consider space should be wasted on it's website allowing you to do so.
almost as funny as Mr Green CEO at Ibrox,is the fact that you lot will only be in the 2nd division this time next year.Ha ha h ah aha ahha aha h
So,until 2015 go and type your stuff to Mr Jim Traynor and do ad Mr Green tells you to do
You on the other hand seem to find mocking victims of child abuse funny!!!! And you don't even try and hide it.
I wonder why the trustees haven't called in all these loans? I mean, if my company is going under and people owe me money, I'd ask for it back..
Commonsense - Stop being an Uncle Tom.
You say Oldco but I say Old Club and I have supplied the link from FIFA proving that it was the CLUB that got liquidated. Hope that answers your question.
SDM did not leave old Rangers debt-free: £18m debt coupled with a risky tax avoidance strategy that attracted the attention of HMRC and stripped away his control of the club. He knew - in the legal terms of sale and because the man is just not stupid enough - how Whyte was raising the finance to buy Rangers but could not prevent the sale.
This is an instant cure for depression.
the funniest thing about this whole episode,(which is not over by a long way) is the man who stepped in to buy and save The Rangers,his surname is Green.HAA ha ha ha ha ha aha aha aha aha aha.
And he still has not changed it Ha Ha haaaaaaaahahahaha!
It was a scam between Whyte, Murray & Green! Bain and the rest of the board told Murray he was a crook but Murray still sold it to him to avoid the humiliation which was to follow. But no doubt BDO will get to the bottom of it in the end.
The OLD club are a disgrace and the NEW club seem to be following on the same path going by Sandazas admission that he can't bless himself
ha ha ha ha and your fans will never sing "Green and white *****"
again,certainly not with the one who must be obeyed in attendance.
Glasgow Rangers were torpedoed by Sir David Murray.That is why he "sold" the stadium for a £1.After trying for years he found out that nobody wanted it,not even for nothing.
away back to the 3rd division,and take your toys with you!
I think you'll find it was a pr*ck of your persuasion who hi-jacked this forum. We have no interest in your 3rd division club.
