Celtic restore four point cushion at top of SPL

Celtic came from behind at Hamilton with a late winner from Paul Hartley giving them a 2-1 victory. A dubious penalty decision, in which Accies player Martin Canning was dismissed, allowed Shunsuke Nakamura to cancel out Richard Offiong's opener for the home side.

Bhoys chief Gordon Strachan accepted the penalty changed the game, saying: "It's something to do with it, that's for sure, because we've scored. We've certainly missed quite a few this year!"

Celtic have now won 10 successive SPL games since losing to Rangers back in August and Strachan said: "The performances have been excellent. Today, it wasn't great, but when you're having good runs, you'll find there are a couple of performances which are not so great and maybe that's the least effective we've been.

"But that's down to Hamilton."
