Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers says his team were never going to make the same mistakes they made in their 3-3 draw with Dundee a few weeks ago as they ran riot against the Dens Park side on Wednesday evening.
Arne Engels, Adam Idah, Daizen Maeda, and Nicolas Kuhn all scored in a 6-0 thumping as the Parkhead side moved 13 points clear of city rivals Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
Post-match, boss Rodgers commended his players, describing their performance as one of their finest of the campaign to date: "[It was] definitely one of the best [performances] of our season," he told BBC Radio Scotland.

"From minute one to the 93rd minute we had a real hunger in our game and real quality in our game.
"Tony’s [Docherty] team over the course of the season have, in the main, defended well and been very strong and we saw that up there when we played against them.
"But we were never going to make the same mistake as what we did in the 3-3 game.
"I think you saw the difference tonight with the counter-pressing and the numbers around the ball and winning the duels, and that gives us the possibilities to play and when we play like that then we can produce great moments."
Although he might've been a frustrated figure after Monday's transfer deadline, Rodgers was more than delighted following his team's display on Wednesday.
Next up, they look to take another leap towards a sought-after ninth treble when Raith Rovers come to Parkhead in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.
