Michael Stewart has told clubs up and down the country that Celtic are the benchmark and it will take 'something extra special' to stop them.
Ange Postecoglou and his troops once again extended their lead over Rangers at the top of the Premiership to nine points after a big win over St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park. The 4-1 success came 24 hours after Rangers' win over Ross County at Ibrox and extends the champions' record to 23 wins in 25 outings this campaign to date with just one defeat to St Mirren and a draw with the Light Blues.
Michael Beale is yet to taste defeat since taking over from Giovanni van Bronckhorst at Ibrox but has been unable to claw back any distance at the league summit due to the relentless form of Celtic, and pundit Stewart believes the table toppers are 'streets ahead' of every other club and it will take something incredible to derail them.
