With Ben Jordan sin-binned for a professional foul and Mike Foulstone’s try and Harry Cople’s conversion opening the scoring for Celtic it looked like being a difficult afternoon for the Knights.
However, they were 30-6 ahead before Celtic next scored, through Billy Yarrow, on 67 minutes.
Connor Wilson and Joe Crossland nipped over to help establish a 12-6 interval lead, Charlie Barker landing the first two of his six goals.
