Sunday’s victories restore Celtic’s four-point lead over Rangers and leave Hearts eight points behind the leaders.
Celtic restored their four-point lead over Rangers in the Scottish Premiership with a 2–1 comeback win at Hibernian on Sunday, 25 October. Camilo Durán scored the winner just before half-time at Easter Road.
Hearts also returned to winning ways, beating Motherwell after suffering a 7–1 defeat by Celtic the previous weekend.
| Home team | Score | Away team |
|---|---|---|
| Hibernian | 1–2 | Celtic |
| Motherwell | 0–2 | Hearts |
Bottom club Hibernian took an early lead through Owen Elding, but a Jason Kerr own goal quickly brought Celtic level. Durán then put the visitors ahead before the break with his 10th goal of the season.
That goal proved decisive as Celtic secured their ninth victory in 10 league games.
Cláudio Braga and Calvin Miller scored Hearts’ goals at Fir Park. Motherwell’s sixth successive defeat equalled a record from 2003 and left them 10th.
The victory kept Hearts four points behind second-placed Rangers and eight behind leaders Celtic.
