00:00Well it finished at Celtic Park, Celtic 5, Ross County 0, all 5 goals coming in an impressive
00:075 star first half display from Brendan Rodgers' men. This was a thumping victory just a few
00:15days on from their Champions League draw against Club Bruges earlier this week. Rodgers opted
00:21to make 6 changes to his starting line-up for this game and certainly didn't upset or
00:27disrupt the flow of his side. As I said all 5 goals coming in the first half, Liam Scales
00:32opening the scoring, he then turned provider for Luke McEwan to notch on what was a man
00:40of the match display from the former Dundee man stepping into the midfield after being
00:45handed a rare start. He certainly impressed, also provided 3 assists including that Scales
00:51header from a corner to open the scoring. Paolo Bernardo made it 3 at the second attempt
00:59after he swept home Dijsselmaeida's cutback. Cal McGregor also made it 4 with a stunning
01:05long range attempt, he's only scoring screamers this season from the edge of the area to make
01:10it 4. Adam Ida had the game wrapped up before half time with a fine finish himself. Celtic
01:17did have further opportunities to extend their lead after the break, they would work
01:22denying Ida and substitute Greg Taylor in the closing stages but this was a convincing
01:28victory for Celtic and one that moves them 5 points clear at the top of the Scottish
01:35Premiership table with Aberdeen in action on Sunday. As for us county, this was a chastening
01:41defeat that leaves them down in 8th as their away day woes continue.
