Nir Bitton was involved in a heated full-time exchange with Brian Graham of Ross County.

The Israeli was a 73rd minute substitute for Callum McGregor with Celtic already leading by 6-0 on route to returning to top spot in the SPFL.

Something was clearly said between the two players as they clashed after the final whistle with referee Don Robertson rushing to the scene.

Bitton made his way down the tunnel as Robertson consulted with his assistant with any disciplinary action to be reported to the managers.

The match passed by without any major flashpoints with Celtic holding a 1-0 lead at the break thanks to a fourth minute goal from Elyounouissi.

Within five minutes of the restart Celtic added three more goals through McGregor and a double from Odsonne Edouard.

James Forrest made it 5-0 before Elyounoussi completed the scoring but at the fans left the stadium it was the clash with Bitton that was caught the attention.
