Celtic bounced back from Saturday’s disappointing result and performance in the 2-1 win over St Mirren by hitting Kilmarnock for four at Rugby Park.
Captain Scott Brown, recalled to the starting XI with Ismaila Soro taking a break on the bench, opened the scoring with an excellent header in the first half.
The reigning champions then doubled the advantage from the penalty spot after Albian Ajeti was adjudged to have been fouled by Killie goalkeeper Colin Doyle.
Odsonne Edouard tucked away the spot-kick and then netted a second after running in behind the home defence to slot away a David Turnbull through ball.
Ajeti then got himself on the scoresheet after managing to roll his marker and fire his finish into the far corner. The striker was set up by Scott Brown.

11. FC - Odsonne Edouard - 7
Scored twice, once from the penalty spot, but was often guilty of trying to do too much in the final third and conceding possession. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
