Celtic made it three league wins in a row on Saturday afternoon as they beat Hibernian 4-2 at Parkhead to sit second in the table.

The Bhoys have been heavily criticised this season after a slow start, but hammered St Johnstone 6-0 before the international break, and were in good form against Hibs too.

Celtic were rampant inside the first 20 minutes as Tom Rogic and Olivier Ntcham both found the net, leaving Brendan Rodgers’ side 2-0 up at the break.

Florian Kamberi pulled one back for Hibs, before Odsonne Edouard restored Celtic’s two goal lead, and after Martin Boyle pulled Hibs back into the game again just minutes later, Edouard struck again to make it 4-2.

Celtic will feel that they are starting to get going, but many Bhoys fans had their eyes on a player they think Rodgers should be targeting.

Hibs striker Kamberi has impressed since joining Hibs on loan from Grasshopper in his native Switzerland earlier this year, and after nine goals in 14 games, he made his move to Easter Road permanent.

The 23-year-old hitman, who has pace, power and great finishing ability, scored his eighth of the season on Saturday in just 13 games, and he clearly impressed Celtic fans.

Bhoys supporters took to Twitter during and after Saturday’s game to suggest that Kamberi would be a great signing for Celtic – and some predicted that Rodgers will be very keen, and will make a move for him in January.
