THE MATCH 

A stunning performance from the Hoops tonight with a 4-0 victory to match arch rival's Rangers last night. The game was all about Celtic from the word go and Kilmarnock only had one or two possible chances to add at least a single goal to their advantage. Commons opened the scoreline within 4 minutes with a comfortable strike into the Kilmarnock goal and 30 minutes later, repeated the feat. 

Just before the teams headed up the tunnels for half time, Hooper insured the team talk met him well with a masterful strike to beat Jaakkola which quelled any doubts that the game was Celtic's.

The game was rounded off by Stokes, who delivered easily the goal of the week so far. A card for Commons saw him taken off by Lennon to prevent his loss for the old firm on Sunday through suspension and he was replaced by and unimpressive Ljungberg and Izzy was taken off for Samaras.

The final whistle rounded off a game that amounted to a very comfortable win for Celtic and a massive show of solidarity for Neil Lennon by the Celtic support in the wake of a despicable attempt on his life; support which was highlighted by a minutes applause at the 18th minute (Lennon's old number at Celtic).

There's only one Neil Lennon. Bring on the Rangers.

MHAN OF THE MATCH


Kris Commons
Two great goals to set up a very comfortable lead in a very important game for Celtic earns Kris Commons the Shamrock and Thistle Mhan of the Match award.

WHISTLE WATCH
All in all, it as another fairly played game for the referee; nothing much to cause any debates as to the legitimacy of the match's outcome.
