Liam Scales wasn’t in the squad as his side took a one-point lead over Rangers.
RECALLED FORWARD KYOGO Furuhashi scored one and set up another as Celtic went back to the top of the Scottish Premiership with a 3-1 victory over St Johnstone.
The only down side for Celtic was the failure to boost their goal difference, not helped by having three goals disallowed for offside, two of them marginal, and losing a late goal as substitute Connor Smith got off the mark for St Johnstone. The visitors lost midfielder Sven Sprangler to injury with winger Max Kucheriavyi coming on, and Celtic began to wear their visitors down with their first real threats coming from a Matt O’Riley corner.
Robinson produced his third goal-line clearance to deny Tomoki Iwata following another O’Riley corner. The goalscorer continued to threaten, stabbing Alistair Johnston’s low cross just wide and then having another goal disallowed for an offside against Maeda. O’Riley saw an ambitious free-kick tipped over by Mitov before setting up the third goal midway through the second half.
