Review
The Celtic 'veterans' Burns, Aitken, Stark and McGhee were the top men on the day.
New boss McNeill has the team playing like clockwork and energetic full backs Morris and Rogan draw comparisons with McGrain and Gemmell.
Andy Walker's early season form is exceptional. Celts are now five points in front of Rangers.
