Review
Deans opened the scoring with a fine header from Lynch's cross only for Arthur Duncan to equalise.
A minute after Hibs goal Edvaldsson put Celtic back in front from a rebound after McDonald had touched Deans' header on to the bar.
With a minute lift McNamara scored a great goal when he took a Deans pass on the run and delightfully lobbed it over the Hibs' keeper.
McNamara celebrated with the Celtic fans behind that goal.
