Former Celtic goalkeeper Bonner was following the match, and he was impressed with the performance of the Hoops.

“It was easy street in the end after that first half-hour, when Kilmarnock put the shutters up and Celtic had some bad finishing,” Bonner told BBC Sport (17:02).

“You thought ‘could it be one of those days?’ but the answer was an emphatic ‘no’. “It was good movement, good passing and goals galore from Celtic.”
