Main Body

Celtic played Hibernian. One Hibernian player left the game early. Daizen Maeda scored first. Then Joe Newell scored for Hibernian. Finally, Kelechi Iheanacho scored the winning goal. Celtic is playing very well. They won many points in their last six games. But some important players are sick or hurt. They cannot play. Now, Hearts will play Rangers.
