Football: Rogic on scoresheet as Celtic ease to victory

GLASGOW, Nov 5, (APP/AFP) – In-form Australian international Tom Rogic scored as Celtic increased their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to 10 points with a 3-0 win at home to 10-man Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Goals by Scott Sinclair, Leigh Griffiths and Rogic ensured Celtic exacted revenge for Inverness being the only side to take points off them this season — a 2-2 draw in September. Celtic are 10 points clear of Aberdeen — who beat Partick Thistle 2-1 on Friday — with a game in hand, although bitter rivals Rangers could close to within nine points if they beat Ross County away on Sunday. After a frustrating first half in which they lost defender Mikael Lustig to injury, the champions seized control in the second period.
