Sky Sports Chris Sutton’s title race question as he delivers surprising verdict on Celtic’s win over Hibs.

Celtic have opened up a commanding lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership after beating Hibs 3-0 at Parkhead this weekend.

With Aberdeen’s draw against St Johnstone and Rangers still playing Ross County in Dingwall this afternoon, Celtic are currently nine points ahead of Jimmy Thelin’s side and 14 points ahead of the Ibrox club at the top of the Scottish Premiership table. Celtic dealt with a Hibs team that appeared to be serious about winning the game rather than just sitting back and absorbing the pressure. Hibs wasted three early chances to take the lead at Celtic Park before Arne Engels scored Celtic’s opening goal in the sixth minute.In the end, a Joe Newell own goal and a fantastic Kyogo Furuhashi sealed Celtic’s victory over Hibs, although it was far from easy for the Easter Road team, who created numerous chances to win the game. Which is why former Celtic striker Chris Sutton’s judgement on Hibs’ victory so startling.
