Celtic 2 v 0 St Johnstone

There we have it then, 6 points clear with a hefty goal difference cushion of 12.

Let’s not kid ourselves, after that OF game on the 29th December, we’d have chopped our hands off to be 6 clear with that goal difference by the end of January.

That’s now 4 games back since the winter break, won 4, scored 12, conceded 0

First half was very pedestrian last night, we didn’t move the ball quick enough and that allowed St johnstone to sit in and frustrate the life out of us and strangle the game.

Only 1 real chance in that first half from Sinclair, he should score but it was a wonderful save.

2nd half was much better, the speed of the play was much quicker and Lustig rolled back the years and got forward at every opportunity

2 terrific strikes won us the game but we were unlucky not score another and were denied the biggest stonewall penalty of the season

I thought Brown was MOTM, another who looks to have upped the ante in the last few weeks, perhaps hurting from the OF game, fine by me, if he plays like that for the majority then he can stay

Good to see Eddy back on the pitch last night, showed some lovely touches and unlucky not to score a very good goal.

Rogic, KT and Bayo still to come into the mixer and with Rodgers expecting a right back to come in tonight, things may look a little rosier.

Gutted about Benkovic being out for 4-5 weeks but Ajer looks to be back to his best, how on earth is that boy 20 year old Jozo also very good but rarely tested.

Big game on Sunday now and I expect Eddy to start and Rogic to be on the bench.
