CELTIC looked a lot better with Duffy and Bitton out the side and Kristoffer Ajer back in his natural centre-back position. Jonjoe Kenny coming in a right-back and playing well facilitated that.
The bhoys controlled the majority of the game and it would be returning bhoy Scott Brown who would draw first blood from a David Turnbull corner.
Celtic would double their advantage in the second half when Albian Ajeti cleverly got in front of the Kilmarnock goalkeeper who nicked him and gave away a penalty. Edouard converted from the spot even though the keeper did get a hand to it.
It was three for the bhoys shortly after when Edouard was put through on goal, Sky Sports, an independent broadcaster making it clear online, they think it was offside.
Albian Ajeti was left on the park and Neil Lennon was vindicated for the decision when the player used his body well and was clinical to make it four!
It was a successful outing for the bhoys and it shows you what you can do if you have players in their correct positions.
The league can’t be realistically won, but we should be looking to win every game from now until the end of the season.
Here are all the goals.

Celtic have the goal their pressure was pushing for as Scott Brown gets free in the middle to head home Turnbull's corner .

Celtic double their lead but Doyle probably should have done better with Edouard's penalty. A long way back now for the home side.

?? If we had VAR, Kilmarnock might be saved. Celtic make it look easy as they add a third – and it is, really, thanks to some poor Kilmarnock defending – but was Edouard onside?
