Sky Sports Celtic 5 Ross County 0 as it happened as champions appear to be in a Premiership league of one.

The Hoops can stretch their lead at the top of the table even further with their two nearest rivals not in action.

Celtic delivered on Brendan Rodgers’ call for pace and intensity.

If their recent Champions League tie with Club Brugge left them feeling drained, six alterations might help. The champs easily defeated Ross County by a score of 5-0. Liam Scales kicked off the celebrations, followed by goals from Luke McCowan, Paulo Bernardo, Callum McGregor, and Adam Idah.

Celtic look to be in a league of their own, despite facing Aberdeen next. The Premiership championship battle would be extremely close if Jimmy Thelin’s men defeated Hearts and then Rodgers’ men, but everyone in Glasgow’s east end on Saturday saw a team that marched to their own music.

At the final whistle, Rodgers dragged Cowie in for a cuddle, and County will not be the last club to suffer defeat against a squad that has scored an eye-popping 40 goals in the league and it is not yet December.

Join us for a review of all the action at Celtic Park.

The Hoops manager made six changes to his lineup following Wednesday’s Champions League draw with Club Brugge.And FOUR of them came before halftime, as Celtics went ahead 5-0 to demolish the Highlanders. Replacements Liam Scales, Luke McCowan, Paulo Bernardo, and Adam Idah were all on target until Callum McGregor scored his sixth goal of the season from beyond the box.

Fortunately for the visitors, the assault subsided after halftime, with County substitute goalie Jack Hamilton making a series of outstanding stops to keep the score low. Celts were disappointed not to score more, but pleased to gain a 14-point lead against Rangers. There was never any question here.
