CELTIC FANS CREATE NEW CHANT THAT QUICKLY ERUPTED AROUND THE STADIUM AFTER FIVE-STAR PERFORMANCE

Celtic fans had plenty to celebrate on Sunday after their side produced a stunning five-star performance to dismantle Kilmarnock 5-1 at Rugby Park.

And while the result itself was enough to put smiles on the faces of the travelling supporters, the atmosphere inside the stadium soon became another talking point.

A new chant began making its way through the Celtic support as the Hoops continued to dominate, with supporters quickly joining in and turning the away end into a wall of noise.

It was the perfect soundtrack to what was becoming a remarkable afternoon for Celtic.

The reigning Scottish champions came flying out of the blocks and needed just two minutes to take the lead.

Record signing Kasper Høgh opened his Celtic account in emphatic fashion, and it was only the beginning of what would become a remarkable afternoon for the Danish forward.

Høgh struck again in the 33rd minute before completing his hat-trick just two minutes later.

Three goals inside the opening 35 minutes.

Celtic were 3-0 ahead before half-time and looked completely in control.

The travelling supporters responded accordingly.

The noise continued to build as the players produced one of their most convincing displays in recent memory, with the Celtic fans sensing that something special was unfolding in front of them.

Then, shortly after the restart, Benjamin Nygren added a fourth.

Celtic were now four goals ahead and the celebrations in the away end went up another level.

Kilmarnock did manage to pull one back through Michael Schjønning-Larsen in the 56th minute, but there was never really any sense that Celtic were going to surrender their commanding advantage.

Instead, the Hoops continued to push.

Luke McCowan eventually completed the rout in the 75th minute, making it 5-1 and putting the final touch on a sensational Celtic display.

And that was when the atmosphere around the Celtic support really took off.

The new chant quickly became one of the talking points among supporters, with fans online celebrating the performance and the atmosphere that accompanied it.

One Celtic supporter summed up the mood by saying the team looked “as good as we’ve looked in a while.”

Another praised Kieran Tierney’s display, while others admitted they had missed seeing Celtic produce performances with this level of attacking quality.

But there was one obvious hero.

Høgh.

The summer signing arrived at Celtic with enormous expectations, but scoring a hat-trick in only his second league appearance was some introduction.

His first goal came almost immediately, his second demonstrated his finishing ability, and his third completed a first-half treble that sent the travelling support into celebration.

It was exactly the type of performance Celtic fans had been hoping to see from their new record signing.

There was also an interesting subplot on the Celtic bench.

Martin O’Neill was absent from the dugout after undergoing a minor medical procedure, with the coaching team led by Shaun Maloney overseeing the match.

Despite the managerial absence, Celtic looked completely focused.

They controlled the match, created chances and punished Kilmarnock whenever opportunities appeared.

For the supporters, it was more than just three points.

It was the kind of performance that creates belief.

A 5-1 away victory.

A new signing scoring a hat-trick.

Another goal from Nygren.

McCowan coming off the bench to add a fifth.

And thousands of Celtic supporters creating an atmosphere that followed the team from the first whistle until the final one.

The chant may have started with a small group of supporters, but by the time Celtic were celebrating their fifth goal, the mood was impossible to miss.

The fans had found their soundtrack.

And after a performance like this, Celtic supporters will be hoping they get plenty more opportunities to sing it.

Five goals.

Three from Høgh.

One huge statement.

And an afternoon that Celtic fans will certainly remember.
