Former Rangers boss Alex McLeish has handed Celtic an 'absolutely on fire' tag and says its hard to see them lose momentum in the Premiership any time soon.
Ange Postecoglou's men have been in stunning form domestically so far this season winning six out of six in the league - including a 9-0 hammering of Dundee United at Tannadice and a 4-0 Old Firm derby win over the Light Blues last weekend.
Celtic's stunning form has them already five points clear of title rivals Rangers and they've scored a whooping 25 league goals in those outings to date. McLeish heaped praise on the back four for being at the top of their game all season while he also credited Postecoglou's side for being entertaining and a great watch this campaign.

The Scottish champions also had a go at Real Madrid in the Champions League opener, eventually losing 3-0 at Parkhead. Callum McGregor smashed an effort off the post while Liel Abada and Daizen Maeda missed big chances at 0-0. However, Los Blancos stepped up their game in the second period and struck through Vinicius JR, Luka Modric and Eden Hazard.
But it's the domestic form that has really got the ex-Rangers and national team boss sitting up and taking notice. Speaking to Football Insider, he said: "Celtic have been absolutely on fire.
“Last weekend, even when Rangers were having a go at them, trying to get back into the game, they were a solid unit.
“The back four have been at their A-game all season. No one has really had a sniff at them all season.
“It has been an incredible start, you have to hold your hands up and admit that. All of their players are in form.
“They have been great to watch as well. They score a lot of goals and it’s hard to see them losing that momentum in the league any time soon.”
