  "account": "Kasper Hogh inspired Celtic to a 5-1 victory over Kilmarnock in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday. Hogh scored a hat-trick, his first goals for Celtic, as the team showcased their strength despite the absence of manager Martin O'Neill. O'Neill, 74, missed the match after undergoing a brief hospital procedure, as informed by assistant manager Shaun Maloney. The Danish striker netted three goals, including the first just a minute into the game, followed by another in the 33rd minute aided by Camilo Duran and Benjamin Nygren. Hogh's third goal came two minutes after the half-time break. Kilmarnock managed to score a consolation goal in the 56th minute through Michael Schjonning-Larsen, but it was too late to change the outcome as Celtic maintained a four-goal lead. In the other Scottish Premiership matches that day, Hearts played host to Dundee United in an attempt to recover from their opening-day defeat by Aberdeen, while Rangers faced off against Hibernian at Ibrox.",
