Celtic cruised to a seventh win on the spin with a 4-1 victory of St Johnstone restoring their nine-point lead at the Scottish Premiership summit.
Andy Considine’s own goal and Kyogo’s goal had the champions a couple of goals to the good midway through the first half and threatening to run riot at that stage but Drey Wright pulled one back with a screamer.
A huge task before kick for the home side got even bigger after just 13 minutes as Celtic got the breakthrough - with a little help from Saints. Daizen Maeda led the attack and fed Mooy who slipped the ball to Kyogo on the right side of the penalty box and his low drilled cross was turned into his own net by the unfortunate Considine. And the champions doubled their lead just eight minutes later as they went into cruise control. Mooy was again involved, spraying a pass out wide to Jota.
