Leigh Griffiths, replacing Moussa Dembele in the starting line-up put Brendan Rodgers’ side ahead in the first half before Callum McGregor was sent off for a second bookable offence.

Despite the numerical disadvantage, Celtic continued to dominate and were further ahead through Stuart Armstrong’s cracking effort. Substitute Dembele added a third later on after connecting with James Forrest’s cross.

The win means Celtic remain 14 points ahead at the top of the league.
