Daizen Maeda opened the scoring in the first-half before Kyogo Furuhashi added another from range.

Captain Callum McGregor then led by example with 15 minutes to go and made it three.

With the victory, the Hoops now have more wins against Rangers than what the Ibrox club have against them.

Celtic have won 170 Old Firm and Glasgow Derbies, while the Gers have won 169.

This stat just emphasises the Bhoys’ dominance of Scottish football.

Their period of supremacy over the past decade has been nothing short of incredible, and the gap between the Celts and their city rivals was clear today.

The visitors to Parkhead didn’t offer much, and Celtic were utterly clinical in attack.

Derby goals from Maeda, Kyogo, and McGregor means the champions sail into the international break streets ahead of their city rivals.

The fallout from this one will be as enjoyable as ever for Celtic fans.
