Think Celtic's eye is off the ball as Ange Spurs link is talk of Paradise? That's just...

KYOGO FURUHASHI was lively and lethal as he hammered another couple of goals to start it.

Replacement Oh Hyeon-gyu sharp and solid as he produced two of his own instinctive moments to finish it.

Winger Jota showed his sublime quality to set up both of the South Korean's strikes.

Reo Hatate looked classy and busy in the middle of the park alongside never-flustered skipper Callum McGregor and back on-song, deadball destroyer Matt O'Riley.

Carl Starfelt headed a goal at one end to supplement the moreimportant business of putting some solidity back into a rearguard which had been creaking at the other.

Alistair Johnston and Greg Taylor returned in the full-back roles to be typically creative and energetic with Joe Hart sound on the rare occasions he had to get involved.

It's natural that Ange Postecoglou was the central focus on Trophy Day.

Tottenham's interest in the Celtic manager meant there was almost as much attention on the Australian as the team at times.

But while the gaffer's situation will continue to have tongues wagging it was important that his team talked their normal talk again ahead of the Scottish Cup Final. They did. Loudly.

There's a world-record eighth Treble on the line against Inverness Caley Thistle - a staggering fifth in seven seasons for Celtic.

Of course, it was understandable that there would be a drop-off after the title had been won and it was pretty glaring.

As Postecoglou chopped and changed his line-up to keep players fresh and get minutes into the legs of others in case they are needed at Hampden, the performances dipped to a level below anything which had come before on the manager's watch.
