Easy game in all honesty for Celtic. Keane scored the opener with a half volley from outside the book and McManus continued his scoring form in the last few games when he volleyed home from a cross from Maloney. Falkrik scored in the last 8 minutes to make it an edgy finish but Celtic held out and done well.
Maloney was man of the match for me, some of his passing and turns were sublin. McManus was a stand out in the back four and was good to have Balde back from African Nations Cup duty.
Also the Huns got beat 2-0 off Aberdeen and Hearts drew 1-1. Celtic are 10 points clear of Hearts, 17 clear of Hibs and 18 clear of Rangers.
