Celtic hammered St Johnstone 5-0 on Sunday afternoon.

Pundit and ex-Celtic player Chris Sutton looks on prior to the Betfred Cup Final between Celtic and Aberdeen at Hampden Park on December 2, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Celtic racked up another win under boss Brendan Rodgers on Sunday afternoon, and broke a record in the process at Parkhead.

The Bhoys hammered St Johnstone 5-0 in the Scottish Cup, racing into a 2-0 lead as Scott Sinclair scored before Scott Brown stunned everybody with a remarkable long-range piledriver.

Returning winger James Forrest added a third in the second half, before Sinclair scored two more to complete a hat-trick in a thumping win for Celtic.

Celtic have won the Scottish Cup twice in a row under Rodgers and will be looking to make it three in a row with the Northern Irishman at the helm this season.

Sunday’s win also saw Celtic post a record, as they racked up a 24th successive cup win, with the Bhoys completely dominating in domestic competitions in recent years.

Unsurprisingly, pundit and ex-Celtic striker Chris Sutton took to Twitter to congratulate his former club on the record, celebrating such a huge achievement.

Sutton will now be hoping that Celtic can go on and add a 39th Scottish Cup this season, though they may still have to face Rangers later in the competition, with the Gers facing a replay against Kilmarnock next week.
