Could only watch the first half. Was one of the best performances of the season and definitely put down a marker. Great to watch. I was really surprised at Sinclair`s directness. He obviously has the ability and his performances have improved of late, but that is more like his first season. Hopefully not a one-off.

Hope we get something from Thursday, as that will give the team a boost going forward. Confidence is sure to be there.

great performance tbh, real drive and energy.

mental to think there is more energy in the team without brown

thought sinclair looked determined btw

All the goals!

I missed Forrests 2nd, didn't see Christies meg...oh my!

A swashbuckling romp.

Considering our stuttering start to the season, it's highly pleasing to still

be at the Top as we go into the turning of the Year.

JFK has touched on it but without Brown and Ntcham in the team we are so much more fluid and direct.

First half was outstanding. Second half was good but the change in bringing on Ntcham killed the game IMO.

Outstanding especially in the first half, the moment speed touch vision and awareness was tremendous. Will Brendan put Brown back in for the Rangers game? I dont think he will be needed we should keep it as is and will be far to strong for them.

Bring Brown on for the last 30minutes to shore things up!

Glad to see Odsonne getting a goal i hope this will help his confidence moving forward. Such a good core of young Scottish players is so impressive.

Forrest
KT
McGregor
Christie
Griffiths

Scotland should build the team around them also!

One of the performances of the week from Celtic. Just behind Dundee, St Johnstone, Livingston, Hearts and Hibs, but still a decent performance by Celtic!

Wasn’t at the game.

Have watched the highlights and read enough online to know it was a good performance. That was a big game-top of the table clash. Killie seemed to have been dispensed with some style. That’ll teach them for their wild celebrations for going top of the league for the first time in about 50 years...

At least they brought more than 14 fans this time.

Was anyone surprised by this result and performance?

If there's one thing we've learned about Celtic in the last couple of years, is that when they have a big game they generally step up and blow the competition out of the water.

Obviously questions can be asked about why they don't do this every game, but they always rise to the occasion in the big games.

If we never had so many games in a season we would play our strongest team more often and when they are all in the starting line up we win more often than not. Maybe Brendan might not make so many changes in some games but that is his style.

Considering the record of Clarke I thought i could have been a more tight game but the early goal changed all that

I think there was some concern that Clarke had the measure of us tactically and he probably has done for the past year but when we play like that, no one in Scotland can touch us.

I'm not sure I understand this whole 'haha we put Killie in their place, get it up them' reaction to your win though.

I think we can allow them a little excitement given that they were top of the league with a fraction of the budget of Celtic, and probably around the 7th or 8th biggest budget in the league.

With all due respect, there are 9 teams in the Premiership who I would love to see win that league and I'd get very excited at seeing one of them do it, even though it's not my team.

Killie deserve all the praise going for their form over the past year.

Terrific stuff to be perfectly honest.

I read the other day, that BR had said that he has no place for sentiment when it comes to letting Scott Brown back into the team.

Good to know, the form players should always get a game first, no matter who gets left out.

The early goal was crucial. It changed Killie's game plan slightly. They probably still had a similar plan to sit in deep and just counter but the second goal forced them to chase the game more. As soon as they chased the game they opened up and we ran them ragged.

The goals came from them expecting to pass it back and forth until we found a space which they rarely give but the movement and running of our midfield created gaps. The rotations between our midfield, wide and attack drags Killie players slightly out of position then we exploit it

Totally agree mate. Incredible turnaround.

Christie has been outstanding also. Another one to add to the list of Brendan making better Came out of nowhere now he is scoring goals putting in tackles meggin cants and banging in free kicks. Happy times

‘I'm not sure I understand this whole 'haha we put Killie in their place, get it up them' reaction to your win though.’

I’m not sure anyone really has?!
