Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers says the Old Firm derby win was 'a joy to see' after his side beat Rangers 5-1 on Saturday afternoon.
The Hoops' win saw Moussa Dembele hit a hat-trick, with Scott Sinclair and Stuart Armstrong adding to the tally in an emphatic win for the home side.
Joe Garner scored the only Gers goal just before half-time, with the visitors having Philippe Senderos sent off with 15 minutes to play in the ever-fiery derby.
"That's why it's one of the greatest games, if not the greatest derby in the world," Rodgers told Sky Sports.
"It was an incredible atmosphere and of course our performance lifts the crowd. It was a brilliant performance from ourselves and a great result.
"A lot of these boys, as a squad, have travelled over 60,000 miles across the international break so to come back in here and play at that intensity, that level and be that clinical, was a joy to see.
"You always think optimistically and I think the thing was about the three points. It does make it sweet when you play that well and you play with that intensity and concentration so it was a very good performance."
Dembele came in for injured star striker Leigh Griffiths and put his marker down, with Rodgers full of praise for the man of the match and his other goalscorers.
"He's a wonderful player, Leigh Griffiths, but today was about the team. You think about the boys that scored, Moussa Dembele is a top talent.
"We're very lucky to have him here but he's been clear on wanting to come to a club that can develop him and he's picked a great club. He's always scored since he's been here, whether it's from the bench or starting games so his performance was outstanding.
"He scored three wonderful goals and different types of goals which shows his power from the corner, his speed from the counter attack and his finish with his left foot was wonderful.
"Scotty does what he does, makes great runs, breaks lines and finishes and I'm delighted for Stuart Armstrong as well because he's taking some time to find his feet.
"I think that position suits him really well where he can break forward, he can press which is important in this team and he ended up getting a great goal."
