Celtic battered Dundee United 5-0 to win the Scottish Premiership title for a record-equalling 55th time.
As the result suggests, it was a comfortable afternoon for Brendan Rodgers’ side, especially after they got over a slow start in the first 15 minutes.
Dundee United’s Ryan Strain opened the scoring with an unfortunate own goal, before Celtic went through the gears and began opening up their opponents at will.
A double from Nicolas Kuhn before half-time put the Bhoys 3-0 up, before two clinical strikes from Adam Idah put extra gloss on the scoreline.
With that, here’s how 67 Hail Hail rated the individual performances across the pitch.
Celtic player ratings vs Dundee United
Viljami Sinisalo – 8
Sinisalo was called into action a few times, being equal to everything thrown at him. He was also comfortable in possession, helping to start numerous Celtic attacks.
Alistair Johnston – 8
There wasn’t a great deal of defending for Johnston to do, allowing the right-back to get up the pitch to support his side in attacking areas. He did this to great effect at the start of the second half, breaking beyond Dundee United’s backline to cross for Idah to head home.
Cameron Carter-Vickers – 7
He looked a little shaky in the first 15 minutes of the game as Dundee United started brightly, but after that, he was comfortable, allowing few chances and even going on a few mazy runs with the ball in the second half.
Liam Scales – 8
It was Scales’ superb header that led to Celtic’s first goal, the centre-back doing magnificently to outjump his defender and head the ball towards Jota and Strain. Defensively, there were no issues either.
Greg Taylor – 7
Solid once again from the left-back. As has been continually mentioned over the last few weeks and months, if Taylor is to leave Celtic at the end of the season, he will be a big miss.
Callum McGregor (c) – 7
Full of endeavour and energy as per usual, driving Celtic up the pitch and spraying passes all over the pitch.
Arne Engels – 7
His set-piece deliveries were particularly dangerous, with one being planted on the head of Liam Scales for Celtic’s opening goal.
Rio Hatate – 7
Deserved more than some of his play got, with a particularly dangerous cross in the first half being headed wide by Adam Idah.
Nicolas Kuhn – 9
What a way to silence questions around your form. Kuhn was excellent throughout, putting the finishing touches to two excellent Celtic moves before being instrumental in Celtic’s fourth goal with a lovely outside-of-the-boot pass.
Jota – 6
The only downside to an otherwise perfect day. Jota’s injury looked to be a bad one, especially judging by the protective brace he was wearing around his knee after the game. He nonetheless played his part while he was on the pitch, pressuring Strain into putting the ball into his own goal for Celtic’s first of the afternoon.
Daizen Maeda – 9
Maeda’s first assist was wonderful, the winger playing a superb ball across the box for Kuhn to place home. His second was pretty good as well, Maeda again pulling the ball back into a dangerous area for Kuhn to finish.
