Celtic scored twice in the first-half through Yang and Liam Scales, and then extended their lead early in the second-half when Sebastian Tounekti scored his first goal for the club.

It was another impressive showing from the Tunisian internationalist, and his manager was delighted to see him open his scoring account for the club.

“He’s a great guy, he’s really hungry and he’s really positive in the game,” Brendan Rodgers said. “He takes the ball, one-v-one, and he wants to beat people, and he can do a little bit of everything.

“He can go outside or come inside, he can combine and obviously he was looking to make those passes for the guys making the inside runs, and he works very hard.

;So I’m pleased for him to get the goal because it’s one of the things I said to him that he needs to improve on.'

“He’s got a lot of talent but for him to keep progressing and moving in the football game, he needs to add numbers to his game and that’s what we’ve been saying to him. So it was great for him to get his first goal today.”

And there was also praise for Colby Donovan after another assured performance from the 19-year-old, who was also encouraged by his manager to step forward after the game to enjoy the well-deserved acclaim from supporters.

“He’s been superb. I really like him. I like his temperament and his personality,” said the manager. “It’s not easy coming into this team but he’s very aggressive and he understands the game.

“So I’m really pleased for him, and that little moment at the end – this is a kid who has grown up a Celtic supporter all his life and he’s been dreaming of that moment, so to give him that, and I think the supporters, particularly in the second half, really appreciated him on that side.

“They see how strong he is, how aggressive he is, and I’m really pleased for him. He’s come into the team and done excellent.”

Manager: We're starting to find our rhythm
