Celtic were in a menacing mood after they turned on the style in the Premiership win over Dundee United. Despite the game starting with Joe Hart requiring treatment after a boot from Steven Fletcher caught him on the head, Ange Postecoglou’s side were rampant.
Hat-tricks from Kyogo and Liel Abada made up the bulk of the goals with strikes from Jota, Juranovic and Carl Starfelt rounding off a classy showing from The Scottish Champions.

It was a triumphant display from Celtic and one that will have hopefully serve as a marker across the league as Celtic go top and post a major advantage in terms of goal difference.
Wednesday will take Celtic to Dingwall to face Ross County in the League Cup before the Glasgow Derby against Rangers on Saturday.
