That is the opinion of Sky Sports pundit and former Celtic midfielder Kris Commons.
Brendan Rodgers’ side completed their seventh straight SPL title with a 5-0 drubbing over their bitter rivals.
The Hoops raced into a 3-0 lead before half time and continued their rampage on Graeme Murty’s side after the break.
Commons paid tribute to Celtic’s performance, especially off the ball.

But he believes the visitors could have done a lot more to prevent the amount of goals Celtic scored.
“I think what you are witnessing is the brilliance of Celtic without the ball,” Commons said.
“It might sound strange but you know when Brendan Rodgers came in, he said that ‘one of the first things when we are out of possession, we will dictate where the ball will go’.
“This has played right into their hands because Rangers have been forced to playing balls where they don’t want to play balls.

“Under pressure, don’t know what to do with it.
“Bad defending, Jason Cummings, bystander, nothing. (Jamie) Murphy, nothing. (Andy) Halliday, nothing.
