Celtic stroll to an incredible record-breaking away league victory by eviscerating beleaguered Dundee United as they climbed back top of the Scottish Premiership.

Kyogo celebrates his hat-trick - his second for Celtic

Hat-tricks from Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada blew away their hosts at Tannadice, with Jota and Josip Juranovic also adding on more misery.

Ange Postecoglou’s side looked utterly irresistible in attack as they scored nine goals for the first time in 12 years to inflict United’s worst ever home defeat.

It means Celtic are two points clear of Rangers at the summit of the Premiership, while Jack Ross’ side have now lost five on the spin to sit anchored at the bottom with a solitary point from the opening day.
