Chris Sutton has taken to Twitter to comment as Celtic secured a massive win that takes them to within touching distance of the top of the Scottish Premiership, while he also expressed his delight for two more of his former clubs.

Brendan Rodgers’ men appear to have turned a corner in recent weeks. A 3-0 win over Hearts in the Scottish League Cup semi-final last weekend was followed by a fantastic 5-0 victory against Dundee in the league in midweek.

Hearts were the opponents once again on Saturday, and they will undoubtedly be sick of the sight of the Hoops as Rodgers’ men ran riot once again.

Odsonne Edouard bagged a first-half brace while Filip Benkovic scored his first goal for the Bhoys. James Forrest and Ryan Christie both continued their remarkable runs of form in front of goal by scoring Celtic’s fourth and fifth after the break to put the exclamation point on the win.

With 13 goals scored in their last three games, Celtic have to be considered overwhelming title favourites. The Hoops are now one point back of today’s opponents and have a game in hand. It is exactly the kind of run they need heading into Thursday’s clash with RB Leipzig.

After the full-time whistle, Sutton took to social media to suggest that Celtic are back to their best, while he also praised Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers for their respective wins in the Championship.
