Ange Postecoglou saw his Celtic side hit St Johnstone for seven to move nine points clear at the top of the Premiership table - then demanded that his players keep their foot to the floor until the title is won.
The champions-elect extended their unbeaten domestic run to 33 games in a demolition of the Perth outfit that saw Kyogo Furuhashi make his long-awaited return off the bench to set him up for a crack at Rangers in Sunday’s Scottish Cup semi final.
Postecoglou was adamant that Kyogo wouldn’t start at Hampden even if Giorgos Giakoumakis - who went off with a hamstring injury - fails to make it.
