Ladbrokes Premiership: 5 star Celtic bounce back
Published:
They may have struggled against Molde in the Europa League during the week but Celtic left little doubt about their Ladbrokes Premiership title credentials with an emphatic win over Dundee United on Saturday.
The Bhoys’ European ambitions were dealt a huge blow with the 3-1 defeat to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, but Ronny Deila’s call for an immediate response was clearly heard as the Parkhead crowd were treated to a 5-0 win over the Terrors.
Midfielder Kris Commons, who lashed out at Deila after being subbed in Norway, was the star of the show as his brace took him to six goals for the season and earned him some praise from the Hoops’ gaffer.
After 12 games Celtic are now four pints clear a of Aberdeen ahead of this weekend”s crunch clash with Derek McInnes’ side.
