Despite a 3-2 defeat at home to Rangers yesterday afternoon, Celtic remain well on course to win yet another domestic treble this season.
Barry Ferguson's men walked away from Glasgow's east end with all three points on Sunday courtesy of goals from Nicolas Raskin, Mohamed Diomande and Hamza Igamane.
Rangers' victory, however, only reduced Celtic's lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to 13 points, causing the champagne to remain on ice for a while longer.

Indeed, while it was thought that Celtic would win the title away to St Johnston on April 6, now, if they and rivals Rangers both win their next four consecutive league matches, Brendan Rodgers' men will secure the championship in the first game back after the split, which is scheduled for the weekend of April 26/27.
It would be Celtic's fourth consecutive league title and 55th overall in the club's history.
Although fans of the Parkhead side may be disappointed after yet another derby loss over the weekend, they can take comfort in knowing their team is only four wins away from winning the league.
