Celtic hot on the heels of Rangers after brushing aside Hibernian

With the Old Firm contest coming up on October 17, Ajeti’s injury – and the ankle knock which caused James Forrest to miss the game – will be a worry for Lennon

Celtic remain on the tail of Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership following their convincing 3-0 win over Hibernian at Parkhead.

Midfielder Callum McGregor drove the home side ahead in the seventh minute of the keenly-awaited fixture and the visitors missed a couple of chances before striker Albian Ajeti notched from close range in the 37th minute, although he injured himself in the process and was replaced by Odsonne Edouard.
