Celtic's key men turned it on again as they ultimately coasted to a convincing win over St Johnstone.
The spine of the team was key with the regular centre back pairing of Carl Starfelt and Cameron Carter-Vickers very strong while Callum McGregor was in control of the game in the midfield area.
That allowed Aaron Mooy to shine and he did just that - again - the way he passed and probed and also found some great positions. Of course it was all topped off by a wonderful goal. Kyogo Furuhashi was equally important with some superb striking play as he netted again and was involved in two of the other goals with David Turnbull adding the fourth.

Here is how they rated
Joe Hart 6
Didn't look too clever for the Saints goal - but claimed some good crosses, especially a Jamie Murphy centre at 3-1.
Alistair Johnston 6
Struggled to deal with the surging runs of Graham Carey at times but linked with those ahead of him well
Carl Starfelt 7
Solid at the back and was not troubled that much by the Saints' strike force as he marshalled Stevie May well.
Cameron Carter-Vickers 7
Equally strong at the back for the most part but gave away a couple of fouls that gave Saints a couple of decent opportunities.
Greg Taylor 6
Not as effective as he has been of late but still solid in what was ultimately a very comfortable win.
Aaron Mooy 9
Superb performance as the Aussie maintained his high level since returning from the World Cup, highlighted by a brilliant finish.
Callum McGregor 8
Another high level performance from the captain who controlled the middle of the park despite the dreadful condtions.
Reo Hatate 6
Guilty of losing the ball in the build-up to St Johnstone's goal. Not quite at his impactful best.
Jota 7
A frustrating day for the Portuguese winger who still had some good moments like setting up Mooy and hitting the top of the bar.
Kyogo Furuhashi 9
Outstanding in the way he operated up front and was key to three of the goals, scoring one of them to make it 21 for the season.
Daizen Maeda 6
Some decent flashes and his workrate was once again superb but made some wrong decisions in the final third.
Subs:
Matt O'Riley 5 - Played his part as Celtic managed the second half
Liel Abada 5 - Fluffed a couple of decent chances after replacing Maeda
David Turnbull 6 - Put gloss on the the performance with the fourth goal
Oh Hyeon-gyu 4 - No real impact
