Celtic have made a rapid start to the new Scottish Premiership season after they outclassed Hibernian 2-0 at Easter Road on Sunday.

 

Brendan Rodgers watched his team put four goals past Kilmarnock for their Premiership opener last week and they have now continued that on the road.This shouldn’t be a surprise because Celtic beat Manchester City in pre-season and that was a sign of things to come.

 

There were many bumps in the road when the Bhoys clinched another title last season, but despite a few negative noises, they still won the double.

 

Rodgers was defended for his second debut season at Celtic and now his team look like the side that went unbeaten and won the treble when he first took charge.It was a quick start from Celtic when Nicolas Kuhn opened the scoring after three minutes following a rapid breakaway.

 

Before captain Callum McGregor struck a magnificent effort from outside the box to double his side’s lead after 20 minutes.

 

The game was done and dusted by then, as Celtic were all over their opponents and it impressed Gabriel Agbonlahor.

 

The former Aston Villa striker stated on Twitter that he couldn’t believe how ‘one-sided’ the game was and it’s something he hasn’t seen in ’20 years’. In the end, Celtic had around 74% possession, with 19 efforts on goal, and seven on target, with goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel not having a save to make.

 

Celtic continue 100% start

“Hibernian vs Celtic is the most one-sided game I’ve watched in 20 years,” said Agbonlahor.You feel Celtic’s squad might just look very different in a few weeks if certain deals get done.

 

Celtic have received a £25 million+ bid for Matt O’Riley and he could yet leave, with Idah also a wanted man.

 

The Republic of Ireland international spent a fruitful six months on loan at Parkhead last season, before returning to Norwich City this summer.
