Celtic humiliated Dundee United 9-0 on Sunday to equal their record Scottish Premiership win, a day after Liverpool beat Bournemouth by the same scoreline in the Premier League.
The result at Tanadis Park tied Celtic’s 9-0 win over Aberdeen in 2010-11 and was the biggest away victory in the competition’s history, with an 8-1 victory over Dunfermline Athletic in 2005-06.
