It started with some Messi-like footwork down at the Celtic corner flag from Greg Taylor, pink-booted substitute Stevie May wasn’t to know that two minutes later his side would be six goals down.Â
Every outfield player and every part of the pitch was used as Ange Postecoglou’s side put together over 40 passes before Matt O’Riley’s magic touches slammed a shot beyond Zander Clark.Â
This was passing with a purpose not for the sake of it. With every touch players were looking to push forward, team-mates were running off the ball to create options, no-one was panicked or forced into a rushed pass.Â
It was a goal that summed up the day as Celtic made it 12 wins and a draw out of 13 SPFL matches in the SPFL Premiership, a maximum of 10 points are required from the last five fixtures but nine could do it with a goal difference advantage of plus 23.Â
