The Scottish champions were rampant in manager Ronny Deila's final match as head coach with three goals from Kieran Tierney, his first for the club, Tom Rogic and Mikael Lustig arriving in the first half before Stuart Armstrong, Patrick Roberts, Ryan Christie and teenage substitute Jack Aitchison completed a severe going over.
Aitchison is the youngest man to turn out for the Glasgow club at the age of only 16 years and 71 days, and completed a remarkable debut by scoring the seventh goal with 13 minutes remaining.

With second-placed Aberdeen suffering a 4-0 home defeat to Ross County, Celtic won their latest Scottish title by a whopping 15 points.
After the curtain comes down on their celebrations, Celtic must turn their attention to finding a new head coach to replaced Norwegian Deila, whose failure to lead the Glasgow club into the Champions League and a dismal showing in last season's Europa League group stage has cost him his job despite back-to-back domestic titles.
Roy Keane, David Moyes, Malky Mackay, Michael O'Neill and Paul Lambert have all been linked with the post with a decision expected to be announced this week.
