Eamonn Brophy came off the bench to score the equaliser as Hamilton Accies drew 1-1 with Celtic at New Douglas Park on Friday night.

Leigh Griffiths gave Ronny Deila's side a 35th-minute lead from the penalty spot - claiming his 33rd goal of the season in the process - but the Ladbrokes Premiership leaders were reduced to 10 men before half-time when Dedryck Boyata was sent off.

Celtic were awarded a second penalty after the interval but this time Griffiths saw his kick saved by Michael McGovern and Brophy earned Accies a precious point when he lashed the ball past Logan Bailly with 17 minutes remaining following a corner.
