Celtic locked horns with St. Mirren at Celtic Park where they picked up a thumping 5-0 win to continue their run towards the title. With Rangers playing tomorrow, Celtic have stretched their lead on top of the Scottish Premiership to 16 points. That is undoubtedly an achievement after the derby loss in December.
Here is how Twitter reacted.
Some fans were unhappy that James Forrest got to start again.
Wit has Forrest done since turn of year to warrant a start?

‘Fraud’ Forrest has 16 goals in all competitions so far, but some wanted young Jeremie Frimpong in the lineup.

Some fans didn’t forget to have a pop at Gerrard after Griffiths put Celtic 2-0 up before half time.
Super Leigh! 15 points clear as it stands. In your face Gerard 🤣

Many assumed Griffiths’ career was over, but he has undoubtedly discovered himself in the second half of the campaign.

Tom Rogic who has struggled for game time this season, seemingly took his chance well.
Lot of questions this week surrounding Tom Rogic and his role on this club. Looks like he is trying to silence the critics today. Another great effort from the Australian there. #CELSTM

Bitton too impressed as he helped his side to keep a cleansheet.

Fans once again decided to remind that Gerrard is yet to win a league title.

With the league title now more or less wrapped up, all Celtic fans would now want is bragging rights over Rangers when they face them next Sunday. Given the current form of both the sides, Lennon’s men would be the favourites to see them off.
