Michael Stewart has named the one aspect of Celtic's play that stands them out from the crowd.
Ange Postecoglou's men continued their relentless charge for a second consecutive Premiership crown with an easy win over Livingston at Parkhead. That 3-0 victory maintained their 100 per cent home record in a performance that didn't need them to hit top gear. Greg Taylor opened the scoring in stunning fashion before a bit of luck allowed Daizen Maeda to net the second with Kyogo Furuhashi adding a third before half-time to wrap up the win.
Michael Beale remained unbeaten as Rangers boss as his side ran out comfortable winners over Hearts at Tynecastle but with the Hoops on a rich run of form, they've been unable to claw back any of the nine point gap between the two sides at the Premiership summit. It was a 22nd win in 24 outings this season for the champions and BBC pundit Stewart believes the 'intensity' in their play is the key area that stands them out from the Light Blues and the rest of the teams in the league.

Analysing Celtic's performance on BBC Sportscene, he said: "The thing about Celtic is they have intensity in their play. That is the one thing that stands out from everybody else.
"The difference they have is that intensity as Richard [Foster] talks about, not hitting top gear but they've still got a real presence about their side to put teams under intense pressure. Yes it was won at a canter but think back to the season before Ange Postecoglou came in.
"Teams would go to Celtic Park, Celtic would dominate the ball but they didn't have any penetration. They almost played in a horse-shoe around the edge of the box and didn't have that intensity.
"Ange Postecoglou has brought that in now. They can go through the gears. They didn't have to hit top gear but still blow teams away. 100 per cent home record, you can't ask for anything else."
