Celtic have racked up 100 Premiership goals this season after a devastating first-half blitz of Kilmarnock.
Kyogo Furuhashi put the champions 1-0 up in the seventh minute at Rugby Park after capitalising on a defensive error from Fraser Murray. It was the Hoops' 99th goal of the league campaign.
Just five minutes later they had their 100th when Daizen Maeda headed home an Alistair Johnston cross.

Matt O'Riley added a third and a fourth either side of Kyogo's missed spot-kick as home fans left the ground after half an hour as the threat of relegation looms at the Ayrshire outfit.
In the run-up to the game, Postecoglou appeared to confirm that both Jota and Cameron Carter-Vickers were missing from the squad due to the artificial surface at Rugby Park.
He told BBC Sportsound that "both pulled up sore last time we played here" before adding to Sky Sports: "[It's a] combination... there's a couple of boys who this pitch doesn't do a great deal for so we've decided to leave them out.
"But it's also to bring some fresh legs in. Tomoki, Haksa and Yuki have all been working hard in training and I think we're going to need some energy today. Hopefully those three can bring that for us."
In their places came Yuki Kobayashi and Sead Haksabanovic, with Tomoki Iwata replacing Aaron Mooy - who made the bench - the only other change to the starting XI.
