00:00Full time here at Selpo Park where it's finished. Celtic 6, Dundee 0. A statement win, a crushing

00:07from this route. Behemoth as Dundee were thumped by 6 goals to nil for the second time in 4

00:15days. It was a one-sided affair really from start to finish. Celtic got the goal of 15

00:21minutes through an Arne Engels penalty and after that never looked back. Engels scored

00:25a second goal later in the game, a wonderful finish. There was also a double for Dijs and

00:28Maida. Biela was fantastic again and Eder got on the score sheet too and so should Nicholas

00:35Kuhn wrap things up. This is one of Celtic's most emphatic wins of the season, the third

00:40time they've put six past a Scottish club in this campaign. But the real importance

00:47of this win is laid bare by the fact Celtic are now 13 points clear at the top of the

00:51Premiership with 13 games to play. This was a game in hand over nearest, Liables, Rangers

00:56and boy did they make it count here. They look irrepressible at times against Scottish

01:03opposition. There's been a lot of talk about whether Celtic need another striker in after

01:07the departure of Kago Furahashi but ultimately you look at what they've got so far and you

01:11think they are certainly well equipped to do what they need to do domestically. Consistently

01:17we'll find out next week when they play Bayern Munich here but they're in pretty good shape

01:20after this fantastic result. Dundee, it's not looking good for Dominic Lopetti's team,

01:27they're only six points ahead of the drop zone and that number six must be a real problem

01:33for Dundee right now. They've lost two games, six in a row and actually they came here last

01:38season in February and lost 7-1, their sixth goal defeat as well. They've only kept two

01:43clean sheets so all season it's pretty clear where their problems lie. Celtic on the other

01:47hand have no such issues, they won convincingly again here at Parkhead so you strengthen their

01:53grip on the Premiership title.
