Celtic drew against Neil Lennon’s Hibernian on Sunday afternoon.

Celtic's Northern Irish manager Brendan Rodgers applauds supporters as he leaves after the UEFA Champions League Group B football match between Celtic and Anderlecht at Celtic Park stadium...

Michael Stewart has told Scottish Premiership fans on Twitter that both Celtic and Hibernian deserve credit for their performances in Sunday afternoon’s 2-2 draw at Easter Road.

Brendan Rodgers’ side travelled to Hibs with their 67-game unbeaten record under threat, after losing to Anderlecht in the week and Hibs proving to be strong at home this season since their promotion back to the top flight.

Celtic Player Scott Sinclair walks onto the Hampden pitch before their Cup Final at Hampden Park on November 26, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

However, it looked as though that they would ease to a 68th unbeaten outing as a four-minute double salvo from Scott Sinclair saw the Hoops look comfortable. But Hibs responded with a quickfire brace of their own – Efe Ambrose and Oli Shaw scoring the goals.

Former Hibs midfielder Stewart posted his verdict of the match on Twitter, stating both sides deserved credit for different reasons as the two sides played out an enthralling end-to-end spectacle.

The draw sees Old Firm rivals Rangers close the gap at the top of the Scottish Premiership table to just five points, after interim manager Graeme Murty earned a third successive win as Light Blues boss over Ross County.

Both Celtic and Rangers are in action on Wednesday night, as it is Murty’s turn to travel to Easter Road and face Hibernian while Rodgers’ side play host to Hamilton at Celtic Park.
