Martin O’Neill absent from Celtic’s win at Kilmarnock as Høgh hits hat-trick

Høgh scored first Celtic goals in 5-1 victory

Hearts beat Dundee United 4-0 in first win under Wouter Vrancken

Kasper Høgh scored a hat-trick, his first goals for Celtic, as the Scottish champions made light of the absence of their manager Martin O’Neill with a 5-1 win at Kilmarnock on Sunday.

Victory made it two wins out of two Premiership games for Celtic, with 74-year-old boss O’Neill missing the trip to Rugby Park after what the club had said earlier this week was a “small procedure” in hospital.
