ED’S TWO SHARP

Scottish Round-up

ODSONNE EDOUARD scored twice as CELTIC thrashed Premiership leaders HEARTS 5-0 to narrow the gap between the top two to a single point.

Brendan Rodgers’ men were three up six minutes before half-time thanks to Edouard’s double and on-loan Leicester defender Filip Benkovic.

James Forrest rubberstamped the outcome after the hour and Ryan Christie made it five from the spot at the death.

Daniel Candeias and Alfredo Morelos both struck late on as 10-man RANGERS returned to winning ways with a 2-0 triumph at ST MIRREN.

Substitute Candeias was then sent off following a spat with Anton Ferdinand.

Neil Lennon’s bad week got worse as HIBERNIAN were sunk 1-0 by a Joe Shaughnessy header at home to ST JOHNSTONE, who climb above the Edinburgh club into fifth. MOTHERWELL recorded back-to-back wins as David Turnbull’s second-half goal settled a 1-0 victory at home to basement boys DUNDEE, while HAMILTON are hot on the Steelmen’s heels after beating LIVINGSTON by the same scoreline thanks to Mason Enigbokan-bloomfield’s last-gasp winner.

Mickel Miller was sent off for Livi at New Douglas Park before Norwich loanee Enigbokan-bloomfield bagged his first goal for Accies.
