Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has hailed a "good win" for the Bhoys after they saw off Hamilton 3-1 at Parkhead this evening.
The hosts opened the scoring in the 12th minute through midfielder Olivier Ntcham, however they were pegged back when Danny Redmond levelled matters around the half hour mark.
But Celtic hit back and James Forrest made it 2-1 in the 40th minute, finishing from close range past the Hamilton goalkeeper.
Then Hamilton were hit by a killer blow just a minute later when Scott Sinclair scored and made it 3-1 to the hosts heading into the half time break.
Rodgers' men bossed possession and saw out the match to take all three points, pleasing the manager, who noted the good display Hamilton put in away at Rangers to show they are no pushovers.

"Hamilton have shown why they have gone to Ibrox and other places and won games", the Celtic manager told BBC Scotland.
"It was always going to be a test and I think we came through it.
"We tried something different tonight in our formation and it worked well for us with three goals.
"At this time of the season, when games are coming thick and fast, it was a good win.
"If we had been more clinical, we would have been further ahead", Rodgers added.
The victory means Celtic have now extended their unbeaten domestic run to a record 69 matches and sit top of the Scottish Premiership table with 41 points from 17 games.
