St Johnstone 0-4 Celtic
CELTIC EXTENDED their incredible unbeaten run to a record 63 domestic games with a win at St Johnstone this afternoon — breaking their own record which had stood since 1917.

Goals from Scott Sinclair, Moussa Dembele and Olivier Ntcham, along with an own goal from Steven Anderson saw Celtic cruise to the historic win.
Brendan Rodgers’ side have not lost a domestic game since May 2016 when they were beaten by St Johnstone – Corkman Graham Cummins scoring the winner that day.
But the Hoops were comfortably better at McDiarmaid Park on Saturday and never looked back after Sinclair gave them the lead on 28 minutes.
The points weren’t made safe until 18 minutes from time when Dembele doubled the advantage, and after Anderson’s unfortunate og, Ntcham completed the rout with Celtic’s fourth a minute from time.
