Celtic 3-0 Inverness: Ronny Deila's side move six points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership with Parkhead win

Daily Mail  

Celtic stretched their lead at the top of the Ladbrokes Premiership to six points with a 3-0 win over Inverness but the Highlanders contributed markedly to their own downfall. Hoops keeper Craig Gordon saved a one-on-one with Jordan Roberts just after the break and the Highlanders were made to pay when Gary Mackay-Steven flashed a drive past Owain Fon Williams. Gary Mackay-Steven opens the scoring for Celtic with a 54th-minute strike at Parkhead Top scorer Leigh Griffiths added a double in the second half to increase the gap over second-placed Aberdeen and they have the chance to further ahead against Hamilton next Friday night but there is no doubt that, despite the scoreline, the fans are looking for more conviction and certainly more entertainment from their side at the start of matches. Top scorer Leigh Griffiths added a double in the second-half to seal victory for the Hoops Then a swift Caley break following a Celtic corner, with the Hoops defence out of position, ended with Jordan Roberts playing in Miles Storey and of all people Griffiths had raced back deep into his own box to snuff out the danger. Young midfielder Patrick Roberts made an encouraging cameo appearance late in the game And when Griffiths drove in off the far post from 16 yards in the 59th minute the points were effectively secured and Celtic began to play with a little more confidence.
