A blistering first-half performance saw Celtic back to their best as they eased to a 5-1 victory over Kilmarnock to remain on the brink of another Scottish Premiership title.
Brendan Rodgers made no secret of his anger after defeat to St Johnstone left them unable to wrap up the title in front of their home fans, but Reo Hatate had Parkhead bouncing with his stunning opener.
Daizen Maeda tapped home another just two minutes after that 25-yard strike, with Cameron Carter-Vickers unleashing a powerful shot from distance to put them three up.
Reo Hatate gives Celtic the lead against Kilmarnock nine minutes into the game with a incredible long-range effort.
Hatate made it 4-0 after 24 minutes before Danny Armstrong’s cross found its way into the net to pull a goal back for the visitors. Maeda then had another ruled out by VAR before the break.
Anthony Ralston came off the bench to make it five in stoppage time after a quiet second half.
Celtic will win the Premiership title on Sunday if Rangers lose at Aberdeen, live on Sky Sports, while Kilmarnock face a relegation battle in the bottom six.
Daizen Maeda taps-in at close range to extend Celtic’s lead over Kilmarnock.
Daniel Armstrong catches Viljami Sinisalo out with a cross to put Kilmarnock on the scoreboard.

The Yankees have three starters in the rotation with an ERA above 4.75. The Dodgers have already used nine different starting pitchers in 26 games. Both teams are still on pace to surpass 93 wins — rotation injuries rendered irrelevant with constant blasts to the bleachers.AdvertisementThe 2025 Toronto Blue Jays don’t have that luxury, hitting just 14 homers in 26 games, second-fewest in MLB.
