Celtic put on a dominant display as they thrashed Kilmarnock at Parkhead.
The Hoops surged 16 points clear at the top of the table after putting five past Killie in a match lit up by two stunning goals that could contend for goal of the season.
Reo Hatate and Cameron Carter-Vickers both unleashed sensational strikes, with Kilmarnock boss Derek McInnes hailing them as “world-class” efforts at Celtic Park.
But it was Alistair Johnston’s immediate reaction to Carter-Vickers’ thunderous goal, captured by Celtic’s Unique Angle, that perfectly captured the awe felt throughout the stadium.
Johnston, visibly in disbelief, held his head in his hands and gestured toward the bench, clearly taken aback by the power and precision of the American defender’s effort—just his second goal of the campaign.
Sky Sports also caught Johnston’s priceless reaction during their live coverage, adding another layer to the already memorable moment as he celebrated alongside his teammates.
With Celtic now just one game away from sealing the title, this emphatic win over Kilmarnock—and the jaw-dropping goals that came with it—will be remembered for a long time.
Manager Brendan Rodgers had called for a response following last week’s disappointing loss to St Johnstone, and his players delivered in spectacular fashion.
