Captain Scott Brown says Cetlic are "going to get better" after they clinched a seventh successive Premiership title by defeating rivals Rangers 5-0 at Parkhead on Sunday.

Odsonne Edouard, the 20-year-old French striker on loan from Paris St Germain, scored a first-half double with James Forrest netting a third before the break.

Midfielders Tom Rogic and Callum McGregor added second-half goals as Celtic recorded their biggest league win over their rivals.

Brendan Rodgers' side are now a Scottish Cup final win over Motherwell away from recording successive domestic trebles for the first time ever.

Brown, who has won eight titles with Celtic since signing from Hibernian in 2007, said: "We are going to get better. There is a lot more focus on training.

play.

"It was all about the way we played. Take nothing away from Rangers we were outstanding from start to finish.
