3 talking points as deadly Celtic net NINE amid Kyogo and Abada show to leave Jack Ross on the floor

Brilliant Celtic blew Dundee United away at Tannadice as trebles from Kyogo and Liel Abada heaped the pressure on Jack Ross at Dundee United.

There was an early injury scare with Joe Hart down for more than five minutes with a head-knock, but the Hoops had the lead almost as soon as play resumed. It was an incisive counter as Liel Abada played in Jota, who picked out Kyogo at the far post.

His second was a stunner as Matt O'Riley laid him off before curling it into the top corner, and just moments later he had yet another Celtic treble when he converted Liel Abada's cross for his sixth goal of the season. Jota notched the fourth, O'Riley again assisting with a perfectly-weighted cross to leave it on a plate, and the goals just kept on coming after that. Abada got in on the fun within five minutes of the restart, before Josip Juranovic notched his first Celtic goal not from the penalty spot to drive the point home. What Kyogo can do, Abada can do just as well as he bagged two more to take his Celtic tally to 19. United had given up by that point and the few home fans who remained were heading for the exit when Carl Starfelt waltzed in unmarked to head in the ninth of the afternoon.
