Celtic 6-0 Dundee: Analysis

When Kyogo completed his move to French side Rennes, it posed questions about what Celtic's attack might look like for the rest of the season.

Here, they showed they are still a devastating force without the Japan striker, lead by his international colleague Daizen Maeda.

His pace in behind the Dundee defence was a constant threat and he looked completely unfussed by switching wings, harrying the opposition throughout the game

The 27-year-old created three chances - the joint-most of any player - and had more touches in the opposition box than anyone else.

His second goal reflected how high his confidence levels are at present, sending an arcing first-time shot over a helpless Trevor Carson and into the top corner.

Adam Idah scored his fourth goal in his last three outings as he continues to step up in Kyogo's absence, and Jota showed his class too on his first start since returning to Glasgow.

The Portuguese winger's cross for Maeda's first was a delightful pick out, and he will only improve as he gets more minutes into his legs.

Nicolas Kuhn's introduction off the bench showed the depth of quality Rodgers has at his disposal and he put the icing on the cake with a whipped left-footed strike late on.

On this showing and given the big gap, it seems a certainty that the league title will be staying at Parkhead come May.
