Celtic closed the gap to Rangers at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League to four points after second-half goals from Gary Hooper and Ki Sung-yueng gave them a 2-0 win against St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park.
Saints keeper Peter Enckelman had made two great saves from Hooper before the former Scunthorpe striker broke the deadlock on the hour mark from a yard out following a corner, three minutes before Ki scored on the break to seal the win.
The only downside for Hoops manager Neil Lennon was the loss of stopper Daniel Majstorovic, who had to go off in the first half with a suspected fractured cheek bone after a clash of heads with Saints midfielder David Robertson, who was also replaced soon afterwards.
