Celtic extend their lead to seven points

Celtic moved seven points clear of Aberdeen at the top of the Ladbrokes Premiership with a 3-1 win over Inverness at a freezing Tulloch Caledonian Thistle Stadium.

Ronny Deila’s side crashed out of the Europa League with a 2-1 defeat to Ajax on Thursday, leaving the Norwegian boss under increasing pressure but they returned to domestic duty to show their mettle.

Midfielder Callum McGregor was on target with a fine drive from distance after only seven minutes, but that was cancelled out by Caley striker Miles Storey in the 39th minute.
