Odsonne Edouard struck twice as Celtic grabbed the Ladbrokes 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.

But Brian Rice – serving the first of his five-game ban for breaching betting rules – saw his side's chances slip away when Jamie Hamilton was dismissed for a last-man foul on Leigh Griffiths.

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.

James Forrest completed the Parkhead side's late charge to leave Celtic with their sights firmly set on winning a ninth straight title.

However, Accies, are now staring at a fight for survival after slumping to the bottom of the league.
