Brendan Rodgers hailed The Bhoys 3-1 slaughtering of The Sheep on Friday night.
Dedryck Boyata, Stuart Armstrong and Leigh Griffiths all scored before Jonny Hayes pulled one back for the Reds. This all occurred within the opening 12 minutes of the spectacle.
The remainder of the first-half remained goalless, despite both sides having a range of goal-scoring opportunities; the second-half was much the same.

Speaking to the media, Rodgers said:
It’s an incredible achievement. Our target going into the game tonight was could we get 100 points and could we get 100 goals.
So when the players started that way in the first 15 minutes, I thought we might get the four goals but we just fell short of that.
One or our targets in pre-season was to get 100-plus goals, so hopefully we can achieve that in our next two games
But to get to 100 points with two games to go really shows our level, our quality and, as much as anything, the focus of the team.
I think people are waiting for the game we go soft and lose our focus but that’s not been the case.
A brilliant win for us. It’s always a tough place to come. Made a great start in the game and scored three very good goals.
We looked a real threat every time we went forward and broke their defensive line.
The context of the game changed a little bit when they got to 3-1.
I’m really proud of the team tonight as we had to withstand a team who played very direct.
Everything was direct and long ball. I’m really proud that the team have shown another side of their game.
In how we withstood that pressure through long ball, I thought we were magnificent. A really good win.

Overall, both sides pressed for goals; it was end-to-end action. The weather was dull, however, the action on the park, and the atmosphere in the stands were quite the opposite.
The win marked Celtic’s fifth win over Aberdeen this season, with one more face-off to come in the Scottish Cup final.
The Bhoys sit on 100 points with two more league games to come; Partick Thistle away and Hearts at home. Rodgers’ men are determined to remain unbeaten this season.
