Captain Stephen McManus and top scorer Scott McDonald netted as Celtic beat Hibernian to stretch their lead over Rangers at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League to four points.

McManus rose to power home a Shunsuke Nakamura corner after 36 minutes and with four minutes remaining, after Hibs defender Martin Canning was sent off after receiving the second of his two yellow cards, McDonald nodded home a Robson free-kick.

There was time left for Hibs defender Ian Murray to be shown a straight red card for a foul on Aiden McGeady as Celtic, who have one SPL game left against Dundee United at Tannadice, put the pressure back on Rangers who have three games remaining.
