Artur Boruc was at fault for Hibernian's opening goal at Easter Road today

Artur Boruc's blunder blew the Scottish Premier League title race wide open as Celtic failed to record a 13th successive Clydesdale Bank Premier League victory.

A tight game at Easter Road burst into life 10 minutes into the second half when John Rankin's speculative effort from 45 yards slipped out of Boruc's grasp and into the net.

Celtic raised the tempo but Colin Nish sealed Hibernian's victory in the 69th minute following a slick break.

Celtic again pushed forward but they were already looking like a beaten team.

Ma-Kalambay saved comfortably from a Samaras header and McDonald could not turn Hinkel's low cross into the net.

McGeady came on for Hartley and Celtic soon survived a penalty claim when Craig Thomson waved play on as Loovens bundled into Nish.

The Republic of Ireland winger showed some good bursts down the left and fired just over from 25 yards but Hibs comfortably held out for their first home win for almost three months.
