Substitute Oh Hyeon-gyu made a dramatic impact as Celtic finally overcame 10-man Hibernian to avoid a shock Scottish Premiership slip-up.
Despite Elie Youan’s dismissal – after a dubious second yellow – the visitors led through a Josh Campbell penalty.
Jota’s spot-kick levelled, but Celtic frustration grew amid incessant pressure until Oh netted late on.
Sead Haksabanovic added a third deep into injury time as the hosts restored their nine-point lead at the summit.
