‘We’re still in the race’published at 17:26 GMT
FT: Celtic 1-2 Hibernian
“It’s a setback, that’s all it is,” says Celtic boss Martin O’Neill. “We’re still in the race.
“I thought we were absolutely terrific. The players put heart and soul into the game. No complaints on that side whatsoever.”
On the Auston Trusty red card, he says: “I can only go on what the referee told me. He was just going to have a word with the two players then VAR has intervened to say it was violent conduct.
“It looked pretty harsh considering the player was holding on to Trusty.
“We had a good claim for a penalty too with Scales being held, his shirt is being tugged and it’s not given.”
On the quest to defend Celtic’s title, O’Neill continues: “We’ve been chasing for months now. There’s not much room for error but we can still fight back.
“The players are disappointed but it’s not over.”
