Commons stars in Hoops win

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 volleyed in from 25 yards.

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.
