St Johnstone 1-4 Celtic: Ange Postecoglou's side move nine points ... (Daily Mail)

Celtic flexed their muscles at St Johnstone to ensure the weekend ended with their nine-point lead over Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership ...

The fact that none of the sides beneath them in the Premiership took a point this weekend will be some consolation. As the game entered stoppage time, he impeded Hyeon-gyu Oh as the Celtic substitute threatened to go clear on goal. The third was simply delightful for in its build-up and its execution. Taking the ball off Mooy's toe when the Australian looked set to score again, he lashed high over the top from close range. Davidson cut a frustrated figure on the sidelines. Mooy could have put his laces through the ball but beat Matthews with a fabulous lob. It was going to take something spectacular for Saints to get back into the game. Opting to try his luck 25 yards from goal, the winger's right-foot strike had pace and movement. Dropping into his own half to receive the ball, a neat swivel preceded a sumptuous 30-yard diagonal which Daizen Maeda took in his stride on the right touchline. Arriving midway through the first-half, Celtic's second was a curious affair. With Maeda and Jota constantly swapping sides, the heads of Callum Davidson's men must have been spinning as the visitors belatedly got into their stride. There was never much danger of Saints preventing their winless run against the Glasgow side extending to 26 matches and across almost seven years.

He will be disappointed to be beaten in such a manner and eager to atone for his lapse in concentration in the cup game against St Mirren on Saturday. They are performing far better than a few of the teams around them, but they have work to do. But players need good conditions underfoot to entertain supporters and at the moment they are fighting a pitch battle every time they take to the field. This loss leaves St Johnstone just seven points ahead of Dundee United and Motherwell at the bottom of the Premiership with 13 games remaining. The park cut up badly from kick-off and made it difficult for both sides to get the ball down and play. Wright ended Celtic’s run of six games without conceding a goal when he beat Hart from fully 25 yards out in the first-half. It was only the former Liverpool kid’s second start and fourth appearance of the season. The Japanese internationalist has got 19 goals to his name in the league so far and 22 overall. The South Korean won a free-kick for Celtic in a dangerous area just outside the St Johnstone penalty box and earned the hapless Considine a red card from referee David Dickinson. He has now found the net on 11 occasions in his last 11 outings. He is comfortable in possession, distributes the ball intelligently and is a physical presence in the middle of the park. Bojan Miovski of Aberdeen took his tally to 14 in the 3-1 triumph over Motherwell at Pittodrie yesterday.

Celtic remain nine points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership table this weekend after an effective performance away to St Johnstone.

It’s been a difficult winter for football pitches in Scotland, including at Celtic Park, but today’s surface at McDiarmid Park was one of the worst we’ve seen yet. The synergy in this Celtic team is a joy to watch right now. Callum Davidson had a clear gameplan going into today’s game at home to the Bhoys, setting his team up with a back five that looked to frustrate and contain Celtic.

'No ceiling' for Celtic after win at St Johnstone (BBC News)

Celtic "won't put a ceiling on what they can achieve" after restoring their nine-point Scottish Premiership lead with a routine win at St Johnstone.

David Turnbull (Celtic) right footed shot from outside the box to the bottom left corner. - Away4 "We scored a couple of good goals, some great movement. Kyogo dropped deep again, released Jota into a dangerous area and Mooy reminded everyone of the fine form he is in with a delicate, composed lob over Remi Matthews. The expected canter to victory was soon interrupted, though. His cross found Kyogo and, guess what, he finished emphatically for his 22nd goal of the season. Maeda interacted with Mooy, whose pass in behind was exquisite. Kyogo has been prolific in delivering goals, many of them being the finishing touch.

From the byline, his attempted ball towards fellow Japanese team-mates Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate was turned into his own net from close range by the helpless Considine. The early blow to the belief of the Perth side was compounded in the 22nd minute when Furuhashi fired high past Remi Matthews following a long pass from Mooy – who was having a fine game – and a cross from Jota. The home side battled hard to get an early foothold in the game but the Hoops slowly gained control and took take the lead when Furuhashi raced on to a pass from Mooy.

'Tubby telemetries, Batman!' pointed Robin. ' He's a fat wee bar steward too!” – From DC Comics 1967 first edition: 'Batman And Robin v The Cockerney Zombie' ...

MIBBERY – 4/10 – Bargain Bear must read the whines of the forum Zombies about accumulated Celtic fouls and card ratios. THE BUILDER – 6/10 – Another game further out of winter, and another appearance – albeit brief – where he looked back towards his influential capabilities; more confident and purposeful on the ball. Not that you can educate the deranged about types of fouls and deserved cards; it’s apparently just the basic numbers – ergo, Kyogo commits 4 offside ‘fouls’ and the Zombies want a yellow to justify the number. Just follow the methodology, trust in the mantra; we won’t stop and we won’t stop winning. NOTEBOOK – 6/10 – In and out of it, making Jamesy seethe with envy as he’s very fond of his goal or two in Perth. CALMAC – 7/10 – ‘Calmac in support’, as the saying goes. Then a whiplash belter of a strike off a touch and spin to put fresh air between the sides. WAYNE GRETZKY – 6/10 – Perfunctory and solid. Not a lot would run for him on the bobbly field and he was a frustrated early sub. That woke him – and everyone else – up as the comfort of the lead evaporated. STAR LORD – 7.5/10 – Excellent. Testimony to his quantum leap as a player that he’s almost a dictator of play at times and a major component of Angeball.

“He’s been amazing since the World Cup especially. The second half was short on goalmouth action by comparison, but Celtic added a fourth in stoppage time to round off a day to forget for Considine. The defender was shown a straight red card for hauling down Oh Hyeon-gyu on the edge of the box. The run in the team and chipping in with goals and assists - I’m really happy for him.” Furuhashi then took his tally for the season to 22 by rifling a powerful shot high into the roof of the net.

O’Riley played the resulting free kick short as he rolled the ball to substitute David Turnbull who fired a strike under the advancing wall and into the box corner of the net to seal the points for the visitors. Murphy was quickly involved in the action as on 86 minutes his ball into the box was pushed away by Hart. Callum Davidson’s side continued to search for a way back into the game and on 72 minutes they were awarded a free kick following a foul on Cammy MacPherson by Greg Taylor, who was booked by referee David Dickinson. Play quickly switched to the other end as 2 minutes later no one could get on the end of Wright’s cross into the danger area. Brown then carried the ball down the right channel before playing it into Graham Carey and he then slipped the ball into the feet of Drey Wright who caught it sweetly as he unleashed a powerful drive from 25 yards into the far corner of the net. Mooy’s long ball forward picked out Jota and the Portuguese winger did well to beat the offside trap and he broke down the right channel, dribbling the ball into a crossing position, which was met by Furuhashi who got to the ball before Alex Mitchell.
