Celtic picked up a thumping win on Tuesday night, beating Kilmarnock 4-0 at Rugby Park.

The Bhoys needed a boost after a home defeat to St Mirren over the weekend, and they got it with a thrashing of managerless Killie.

Scott Brown scored the opener for Celtic, before Odsonne Edouard bagged a second-half brace to make it 3-0.

Albian Ajeti fired a late fourth for Celtic, giving Neil Lennon a much-needed victory and his biggest league win since September.

Lennon made a bold decision before the game, as he handed a first start to new signing Jonjoe Kenny less than 24 hours since signing from Everton.

Kenny arrived as the replacement for Jeremie Frimpong, penning a loan deal until the end of the season until deadline day.

The right back helped Celtic keep a clean sheet whilst providing a threat going forward, with Bhoys fans hailing him.

Some suggest that Kenny already looks to be Celtic’s best player, and is certainly better than Frimpong, praising him as ‘class’ and ‘excellent’ whilst already dreading that he will go back to Everton.
