Commons stars for Hoops

05 March 2011 18:30
A Kris Commons double in a 2-0 win against Hamilton at Parkhead put Celtic eight points clear of Rangers at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League. The Hoops had struggled for much of the first half until four minutes from the break when the Scotland midfielder broke the monotony by volleying in from 25 yards after being set up by skipper Scott Brown. Commons capitalised on a shocking mistake by Accies defender David Elebert early in the second half to double his tally and put the pressure on to Rangers who have three games in hand ahead of their trip to St Mirren on Sunday. While Celtic were not at their best they still had way too much for the bottom club who were neat and tidy at times but who lacked any real conviction.
