Both Dons and Gers dropped points before Celtic's foreign legion put the afterburners on to beat Hearts 4-1
Brendan Rodgers hailed his jet setting stars for helping Celtic take advantage of Aberdeen and Rangers’ slip-ups to move clear at the top.
“But it's still always about your own self, having to perform. I think everyone recognises coming here with only 500-odd supporters who were absolutely brilliant. “I thought just looking at us a little bit at times, we were a little bit leggy in the first half in some moments. But you've got guys that are travelling, the Japanese players halfway around the world, Auston Trusty, Ali Johnson travelling away and joining the team on Friday.
"So, it was irrespective. For us, we just focus on ourselves and make sure we get the win in the performance.”
