Hat-trick’s for Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada, plus further goals from Jota, Josip Juranovic and Carl Starfelt piled on the misery for dismal United, who have now conceded 24 goals in their last four matches.

It capped another impressive week for Celtic, who discovered their Champions League group stage opponents last Thursday.

The result eclipsed the previous record held by the Parkhead club (8-1 win over Dunfermline in 2006) for the biggest away win since the formation of the top-flight of Scottish football.

Fans have been reacting to their side’s dominant display, with some supporters disappointed they didn’t manage to hit TEN.

Here are some of the reactions from Twitter:

@MickRyan86 - “No competition in this league. You wouldn’t see scored like this in the Premier League...”

@greenchakra381 - “Bring on this full week. Excellent Celtic. Bursting with confidence.”
