Chris Sutton has hailed Celtic’s dominant 4-0 victory over Kilmarnock as a promising start to the season.
The former Celtic striker was full of praise for his former side’s performance, highlighting key players who shone throughout the match.
That was impressive from Celtic👏👏. Hatate , McGregor, O’Riley wonderful. Great start to the season looked slick and sharp. A couple of quality additions and making sure O’Riley and Hatate stay and it could well be a very exciting season ahead.

The Englishman is correct to point out Celtic’s midfield three, who dominated the game with their relentless energy.
They pushed as far up the pitch as physically possible, putting Kilmarnock’s midfield and defense under constant pressure throughout the afternoon.
The big question for Celtic is whether they can retain Matt O’Riley and Reo Hatate and if they can improve the starting XI with new signings.
With three summer signings so far, Kasper Schmeichel represents the only addition who immediately improves the starting lineup.
Sutton, as usual, speaks candidly, and with a crucial few weeks ahead, Celtic supporters will be hopeful for a busy transfer period with a number of incoming players.
