Aussies Tom Rogic, Jamie Maclaren and Awer Mabil were all on target overnight.
Rogic scored a classy goal to help Celtic move within 10 points of their seventh straight Scottish Premiership title.
The Hoops dismantled cellar dwellers, Ross County, three-zip at Celtic Park to give themselves a 12-point buffer over Rangers.
A Moussa Dembele penalty put the home side in front on 25 minutes.

Any hopes of a Staggies comeback were effectively snuffed out when Captain Andrew Davies was sent off for a lunging stop on Scott Brown in the 39th minute.
Stuart Armstrong doubled the advantage on 45 minutes before Rogic finished off a comfortable win on the hour. The Socceroo was all composure when he gathered the ball before slotting home coolly with a low, right-footed finish.
Meanwhile Maclaren scored the opener in Hibernian’s 2-0 defeat over fellow Aussie Ryan Edward’s Partick Thistle at Easter Road.
It was the first time the friends had met on the pitch and sports photograoher Callum Landells was asked to capture the moment.

Maclaren fired in at the near post off a Martin Boyle cut back in the 71st minute before Paul Hanlon headed in the second five minutes later to move Hibs within four points of second-placed Rangers and Aberdeen.
The day only got worse for the Jags when Danny Devine was sent off in the 86th minute for a second yellow.
