It was a winning start to Brendan Rodgers era 2.0 as Celtic came up trumps in a 4-2 Flag Day win over Ross County. The performance wasn't vintage from the Treble winners but David Turnbull's first half double alongside Kyogo and Matt O'Riley goals put the icing on a first Premiership win of this season.

But Malky Mackay's visitors had their moments and a shout for a penalty when Simon Murray went tumbling under a Joe Hart challenge inside the box at 0-0, before the Hoops romped into a three-goal half-time lead through Turnbull's double and a Kyogo effort.

Jordan White looped a header over Hart in the second half to pull one back but Matt O'Riley restored a three-goal cushion for Rodgers' side.

James Brown's deflected effort made it two on the day for County before Nick Walsh called it a day at Parkhead. Here's what the Celtic pundits said about the match in Glasgow's east end.
