Sizzling Celtic dismantled Rangers 3-0 to underline their status as the dominant force in Scottish football. On a day when Rangers came out rocking, they left the east end limping as Daizen Maeda, Kyogo and Callum McGregor scored, James Forrest made 500 appearances and Brendan Rodgers bedded in £11m Arne Engels – the upper hand stretches from pitch to boardroom.
Philippe Clement was left nursing a look of bemusement on a sobering afternoon and the days of nail-biting title races appear a distant memory on the basis of this encounter.
John Beaton beeped his whistle before the natives had even finished chanting 'You'll Never Walk Alone' and Robin Propper's header could have sparked silence if it wasn't so wayward.
The bold and brave element of the high press from Rangers forced the champions into errors, not ones you're used to seeing, as Cyriel Dessers and Rabbi Matondo passed up gilt-edged opportunities but appeared offside.
