Celtic fans got themselves something rare in season 2020/21 – a game involving their side they could truly enjoy.
David Martindale’s visitors were a tough proposition in the early going as they game raged from end to end and Celtic looked a little insure of how to play through the press.
However, once James Forrest opened the scoring the floodgates soon opened. David Turnbull added another soon after and when Scott Brown’s header was inadvertently turned home by Jack Fitzwater the game was done.
That wasn’t the end of the scoring, though. Mohamed Elyounoussi, in a starring performance, then netted a double before Ryan Christie climbed off the bench to add the sixth.
