Scottish League News :: Aiden McGeady sent off as Celtic win at Hibs

Posted on 2009-08-30 by Gooner

Celtic were 1-0 winners over Hibernian at Easter Road despite Aiden McGeady's red card.

McGeady was shown a second yellow in the second-half for diving but Celtic hung on to win thanks to Georgios Samaras's first-half header to make it three successive wins in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier League.

Greece international Samaras nodded an Andreas Hinkel cross from the right past Hibs goalkeeper Graham Stack five minutes from the break.

Controversy came in the 62nd minute when McGeady, booked in the first half for a foul on Derek Riordan, picked up his second booking from referee Dougie McDonald after going to ground under a challenge from Hibs defender Paul Hanlon on the touchline.

But despite being a man short for the closing stages, Celtic held on to join Rangers on nine points at the top of the table.
