Andy Tod had the Pars briefly level in the first half at East End Park.
St Johnstone 0-7 Rangers - November 8, 1998
Dick Advocaat’s men took the title in the first season of the SPL and were ruthless at McDiarmid Park. Saints played the last hour with 10 men after Paul Kane was ordered off but Rangers were already well in control. Rod Wallace and Jonatan Johansson started the rout while Jorg Albertz weighed in with a brace of penalties and World Cup winner Stephane Guivarc’h bagged a late double. Andrei Kanchelskis was the other scorer.
Celtic 7-0 Aberdeen - October 16, 1999
Aberdeen endured a torrid time against Celtic in 1999/00, also losing 5-0, 5-1 and 6-0 in the league. With John Barnes in charge, the Hoops were in seventh heaven thanks to hat-tricks from Mark Viduka and Henrik Larsson after Eyal Berkovic had opened the floodgates.
Celtic 7-0 Aberdeen - November 3, 2002

Hibernian 7-0 Livingston - February 8, 2006
Hibernian did most of the damage in the second half as they dismantled Livi in a midweek match in the capital. Chris Killen opened the scoring at Easter Road and Derek Riordan netted from the spot before Gary O’Connor scored soon after half-time. Riordan and a Dave Mackay own goal made it five before substitute Steven Fletcher struck twice late in the game.
Celtic 7-0 St Mirren - February 28, 2009
Celtic had only scored one goal in their previous three games but ended their drought in some style. Chris Smith spilled Shunsuke Nakamura's long-range effort for the opener in 16 minutes and Saints' day got worse when Jack Ross was sent off for conceding a penalty, which was missed by Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink. Nakamura added a second on 35 minutes and completed his hat-trick just before the hour. A Scott Brown double, a stunner from Marc Crosas and an own goal from John Potter took the tally to seven.
So Celtic have the record clearly now
BTW, we like to score against the Sheepshaggers don't we
