After The Match | Celtic 3-0 Rangers | Three is a magic number as Celtic deliver dominant derby win

John beting CO's time on a dominant Derby one for Brendan Rogers side da MAA opened the scoring after 16 minutes kogo doubled the lead in 39 minutes with a superb strike and then the pick of the bunch came with 15 minutes remaining when the captain curled an Exquisite shot from 25 yards into the top Corner Celtic three Rangers now dominant no more than Celtic deserved Peter no more than Celtic deserved as I say I think in other games have played better you know with the ball but they work I think was tremendous you know everything about them every player gave never left anything on the pitch and that's what you ask for your players in these games don't leave anything out there they've done that I thought Bernardo in the first half was excellent because he was the one that was winning C the game was crappy when the ball went a Miss he would win it back and that's part to everybody else made this similar but as I say we could have won three or four three or four more opport big opportunities and a game could have been a lot more comfortable but you'll s for this go play at your best and still winning the game comfortably well the strains of oasa Oasis roll with it Echo around Celtic Park suppose there's only one song you could play it's a song that's synonymous with Derby WIS for Celtic and of course for all those fans that were lucky enough to get tickets to see is this next year but the only ticket in town was this afternoon at Celtic Park and Celtic when they're going forward just had too much in terms of quality power speed and finishing ability yeah and if with the 10 K as I said it could have been more three or four more and that that's the difference Celtic can played the Rangers tried to press them which was slightly different what they usually do but they but when they came up the pitch and changed the ball over Celtic just punished them so quickly just as I said earlier on they just passed the ball through them as if they weren't there and that's why Rangers are caught in that what do we do do we press them do we stand off them I think if they stand off them they will get it up and that's exactly the way it proved now the Celtic fans rising to claim the Celtic players and rly so a great day for and the Engles and of course l m both of whom make their Celtic debuts C Smo playing in this picture for the first time ensured a clean sheet with that late save from MOS as well and we spoke about it before Peter just for the team having somebody of his quality behind them it must be so reassuring oh so vital it was going to be the biggest sign in the season I know everybody was talking about everything else losing mwea as soon as Joel said he was going for me You' seen the problems we had before with the goalkeeping situation trying to replace certain guys and it's very very difficult cuz everybody's looking for a top quality goalkeeper and there is no doubt Celtic have got that it's something that Brendon knows but it's something we needed defend this group because there is times in the game you you have to produce something and he's proven again he's done that consistently and he's done it today again and not an important time but he still made that big safe to keep that clean sheet which is so so important for him and the rest of the team well we have a top quality goalkeeper we've got a top quality Captain a top class midfielder who once again showed that not only in that wonderful three goals already the season three brilliant strikes it has to be said but just that presence and you mentioned it in commentary the opposition didn't have somebody of his ability and experience and just calmness in the middle of the par to dictate play they don't want and there's no hiding from that you know that's a fact when the game's going against Celtic sometimes you need to getb it with the Scruff of the neck it can be a simple thing it can be a 5y pass a second ball it comes out there and your first on and just roll it and it creates something and that's what he done in the important times and I mentioned Bernardo the same in the first half he'd done that a couple of times when the ball broke down somebody had given it away he went and nicked it back and then started play again and then we'd maybe give it away again and he would win it back again these small details are so so important and it just shows you when you look at that bench the guys that's going on angles I must admit I was really impressed with him in the small period he was on the game he's touching that was very good they understood what it's like to play for Celtic and they can handle the ball very very well K go loves a good s celebration and he certainly walked his socks off today wonderful goal but the way his movement whether it was over the top or coming deep V just don't know how to handle him well that's the thing and listen for his goal I'm thinking he's going he should pass he should pass here he's actually bent to in the he did pass it absolutely made the right decision and but he's all round plays very good and then there's a couple other opportunities when you think he get through he thinks a goalkeeper he should score that's a big moment but he's always going to get the big moments because he wants that ball played forward quickly forward and if you give him the ball quickly is a nightmare for Defenders an absolute nightmare Defenders because he's added his touch to it com and drop him short creating spaces for others but also the fact if he did they come short with him he spins then so that's what great Strikers do and that's what it really is he's been a fantastic Striker for Celtic well a great days we mentioned of angles and and M who both go on and then you've obviously got trusty and V who are part of the bench and see this and and want to be part of it and it's uh exciting times ahead ABS listen when you're sitting on that bench you want to be on that pitch so how you going to work together that team the training during the week's become so competitive because you want to show the manager that you should be in that St in 11 anybody gets on the pitch now you have to make an impact because they've got to fight for that and that is the biggest thing when you're at a football club you've got top players fighting for their positions it only makes you better only makes Celtics stronger God will them they can keep everybody fit the window is gone now so it's not about people going away and you get a performance like today as in the result Brendon will know we can play better with the ball but still today could be five or six and of course the icing on the cake was that appearance from James B is 500 appearances for him now as a Celtic player so impressive but it has been impressive afternoon for Celtic D MAA go and Callum McGregor with the goals but everyone who is in the green and white hoops and the yellow Jersey that is the goalkeeper for Heroes this afternoon as we leave you to enjoy your celebrations wherever you are in the world as finished here at the home of the Champions Celtic 3 Angels now F the European Cup for
