Celtic saw off Ross County with relative ease in the Scottish premiership this evening – winning 4-0 on the road in a comfortable triumph.

Goals from Patrick Roberts, Stuart Armstrong, Scott Sinclair and Moussa Dembele did the trick in Dingwall as the Bhoys continue their seemingly unstoppable charge toward Scottish domestic glory.

But before the game one former Celtic star was asking where a current Bhoy has gotten to. John Hartson took to Twitter to wish his old team good luck in the fixture – but then posed a question regarding the whereabouts of Kris Commons:

The 33-year-old attacking midfielder has not featured in a single matchday squad for Celtic since Brendan Rodgers got the job.

Of course Commons had some fitness issues over the summer but soon became clear that he was not in the plans of the new manager at Celtic Park.

Commons though remains a part of the squad and recently made headlines after giving Celtic superfan Jay Beatty a lift to their Champions League clash with Manchester City.

Unfortunately, a new era at Celtic appears to have left Commons behind. But the results on the pitch seem to suggest that is a justified move from Rodgers.
