GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) -Celtic maintained its four-point lead in the Scottish Premier League thanks to a 1-0 win over Inverness on Saturday, the leaders' 17th straight win in domestic competition.

Given the lead by Joe Ledley's 16th-minute goal, Celtic was reduced to 10 men when Sweden defender Daniel Majstorovic was shown a straight red card for a foul on Jonny Hayes in the 60th.

Inverness also finished the game a man light after Steve Williams' sending-off in the 77th.

Second-place Rangers remained close behind its Glasgow rival thanks to a 4-1 win at bottom team Dunfermline, courtesy of goals by David Healy, Lee McCulloch, Sone Aluko and Salim Kerkar.
