It was Ange Postecoglou’s first home league match at Paradise and the 24,500 supporters inside the stadium created a superb atmosphere to inspire the team against Dundee.

And what transpired over the course of the 90 minutes proved to be inspirational to the fans, who were thrilled by an attacking display of football that yielded six goals without reply.

For the Celtic manager, the 6-0 result was the reward his players deserved for their efforts from first minute to last.

Speaking after the game, he said: “We played some good football and also worked awfully hard. We started the game really well which set the tone and it was a good performance from the players. I’m delighted for them, and they got their rewards for their hard work.

'It’s hard to single people out because the whole team worked really hard and there wasn’t one player out there who wasn’t trying to do the things that we’re trying to implement.'

Of course, the headlines will focus on Celtic’s hat-trick hero, Kyogo Furuhashi, who netted a hat-trick on his home debut to add to the goal he scored on European duty in midweek.

It was a superb display of goalscoring prowess from the Japanese attacker, showing the qualities that had made Ange Postecoglou bring him to the club.

And while Kyogo grabbed a hat-trick and his first match ball as a Celt, Ryan Christie produced an impressive display that yielded a trio of assists.

“Kyogo got three goals and he could probably have got a couple more,” said the manager, “but his defensive work was also outstanding and that got the crowd going.

“He was closing people down and that’s what he brings, that energy, and I think the other boys filtered off that.

'But I just think that, generally, our intent was good for the 90 minutes. We were relentless and didn’t take our foot off the pedal so it was pleasing.'

“Ryan was great and his energy is infectious in terms of, it goes through the whole team and he loves getting on the ball, and he’s always positive.”

And as for recording a clean sheet, the manager explained that the credit for that goes to the whole team.

He said: “I think the defence will be the first to say that it was our pressure further up the park that allowed us to defend in more aggressive areas and, again, nothing is isolated.

“If we play our football and also commit to our defensive intent, then we can keep clean sheets and also score goals.”
