Hamilton 1 Celtic 4Odsonne Edouard struck twice as Celtic grabbed the Scottish Premiership title race by the scruff of the neck with a 4-1 win over 10-man Hamilton. Rangers’ slip-up on Saturday against Aberdeen meant Neil Lennon’s champions could move seven points clear of their stuttering rivals with victory at the Foys Stadium. Yet they found themselves behind after Marios Ogkmpoe fired Accies ahead midway through the first half. Edouard fired home the resulting set-piece and added a late second three minutes after Christopher Jullien had put the Hoops back in charge of the game and the title fight. The motivation was clear for Lennon’s team after Gers’ dropped points for the second time in a week.
