Brendan Rodgers side cruised to a convincing rout of Hearts to move seven points clear of the Ibrox side.
Smirking Robbie Savage has declared that the Scottish Premiership title race is already over after Celtic saw off Hearts.
However, former Birmingham City and Derby County midfielder Savage was quick to dismiss the impact the Belgian could have on bringing the title back from Glasgow's east end - and he crowned Rodgers' side champions after just nine games. Speaking to Chris Sutton on BBC 606 the Welshman gave a bullish prediction on the race for top spot despite being fewer than 10 games in.
Sutton put the champagne on ice as he responded: "That is ridiculous. Rangers have a new manager. We want to hear from Rangers fans; Philippe Clement has come in as manager at Ibrox. 29 games to go in the season, do Rangers fans believe they can win the title? But Celtic were brilliant today.
