Scottish Premiership: Rangers capitalise on Celtic’s loss to Hibernian to go top of the table

Rangers beat Hamilton 1-0 at Ibrox hours after Celtic succumbed to a surprise loss at former boss Neil Lennon's Hibernian

The two Glasgow sides were in action in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday.

Below you can see the best of the action.

Hibernian 2-0 Celtic

It was a wonderful night in the Europa League for Celtic on Thursday but they went back to reality after losing 2-0 at Neil Lennon's Hibernian.

Midfielder Vykintas Slivka got the home side off to a dream start when he finished off a fine move with just 46 seconds played and in the 59th minute striker Florian Kamberi hammered in a clinching second.

This was Celtic's first league defeat in ten matches and they were unable to overtake table-toppers at the time Kilmarnock with the result.

Rangers 1-0 Hamilton Academical

Rangers took full advantage of their rivals' slip-up to return to the top of the table as Daniel Candeias' early strike was enough to secure a 1-0 win over Hamilton at Ibrox.

Steven Gerrard's side moved to the front of the pack with victory over Hearts a fortnight ago but then relinquished the lead with stumbles against Aberdeen and Dundee.

They now lead Kilmarnock on goal difference while the Hoops sit a point back in third with a game in hand.

Accies remain 10th, four points above the drop zone, but victory was the perfect response for Gerrard's men to Thursday's Europa League exit at the hands of Rapid Vienna.
