Celtic blew Rangers away with a first-half performance today that took Ange Postecoglou’s side top of the table. Roared on by a sell-out Celtic Park, the Hoops delivered three killer blows in the form of a brace from Reo Hatate and then a clinical finish from Liel Abada. The first-half blitz could’ve brought more with Allan McGregor saving well to deny Jota and Giakoumakis.
The players and manager took the acclaim of the support at full-time after what was a terrific display.

Postecoglou had to contend with a number of first team players being unavailable but the intensity that Celtic played at left the closed-door champs looking very ordinary.
Onto Motherwell but a night to savor under the Paradise lights.
Oh what a night? Unbelievable first half and contained them in the second. So proud of the players and ange is the man
