Brendan: my Celtic team would make Prem top six

Celtic sealed a sixth-straight Scottish Premiership crown with a 5-0 thrashing of Hearts on Sunday, a result which also kept them on course for an undefeated season.

Celtic have sold on some of their best players for a handsome profit in recent years, with Virgil van Dijk, Victor Wanyama and Fraser Forster now household names in the English Premier League.

Scott Sinclair opened the scoring on 24 minutes with a quick exchange with Patrick Roberts before driving a fierce shot into the back of the net. To win a pressure game like that as convincingly as we did is an absolute remarkable achievement by the players. For myself, to be here for so long to win seven out of 10 seasons has been great but we want to continue to push on. I'm not being disrespectful to a team who have just turned champions.

"For Kieran to move across and play with reasonable comfort and to be as aggressive, it shows you the career the boy has in front of him".

"I couldn't think of a better place for me to be at this stage of my life", the former Liverpool boss told BBC Sport.

"What's important for me to put across just now is that, after this game, I feel even better and stronger and more confident going into Wednesday's game than the reverse". "We have really pushed on this season", said Celtic captain Scott Brown.

China fears N Korea-US conflict 'any moment'
Lately, the United States has stated on many occasions that all possible options to deal with North Korea are under consideration. North Koreans celebrate the day by visiting one of thousands of statues around the country that bear Il-Sung's likeness.

"We have eight league games to go and we need to concentrate on that".

"That both Hearts and Rangers have had average seasons did nothing for the competition; however, the reason why the leaders are so far ahead is because they have played some genuinely fantastic football".

"But at the moment I am fully focused on Celtic". "I'm more pleased for others. I'm a Rangers supporter but you are a breath of fresh air up here.' So I thought: 'Right, get me out of this tunnel quick!' No, it has been great".

'We took a Swansea team who won the Championship into the Premier League and we finished 11th but for us and what we were trying to do that was very, very good.

"I've got a group of young players who are still developing and some senior players who are still developing and they bring that hunger into the games".

"We spoke openly and directly before the game that this is the first of a three-game week which is very important to us".
