The 5-0 rout of Kilmarnock got the Hoops over the line as they became champions again at Rugby Park.
There might have been moments along the way when they looked like the best of a pretty average bunch.
It began with an emotional tribute to Tommy Burns, 16 years to the day of his death, but that was as warm and fuzzy as relations were to get on a night when the Hoops turned in the kind of rampant performance which would have so pleased the great man. They were stone cold killers out there, as they took Kilmarnock apart.
He grabbed the teamsheet that he had drawn up against Rangers at the weekend, cut and pasted almost all of it, and sent 10 of the same 11 back out to finish what they had started. The only curve ball was the inclusion of Idah who took over from Kyogo Furuhashi in attack just to add a bit of brawn to the mixture.
The big Irishman wind-millled an arm into the nose of Robbie Deas on the half way line as Celtic raced forward on the counter. Deas was left floored and clutching his face as Idah sped off towards Kilmarnock’s box. Yes, Liam Donnelly could have had them in front in the opening seconds when he blazed a volley over Joe Hart’s bar and the same player then tried to beat Celtic’s keeper from the halfway line with an impromptu free-kick which sailed high and wide. But they were 2-0 down in 12 minutes when Reo Hatate combined sharply with Alistair Johnston to send the full-back darting to the byline.
It was all just too incisive, too damn quick for the home side to cope with and it would have been four before half time had O’Hara not managed to push another Idah thunderbolt around his left-hand post. McInnes responded at the break with a double change, swapping Kyle Vassell for Liam Polworth and Corrie Ndaba with Joe Wright in a move which was designed with damage limitation in mind.
