KYOGO FURUHASHI STRUCK twice as Celtic continued their imperious start to the season with a 6-0 triumph over St Johnstone in Perth.Callum McGregor added to the lead with his fourth long-range goal of the season, Daizen Maeda got on the scoresheet after having a first-half effort controversially disallowed and substitute Adam Idah rounded off the scoring.
Advertisement Rodgers will now take his side to Germany to face Champions League runners-up Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday in top form. Saints lost captain Kyle Cameron to injury and replacement Aaron Essel took time to adjust. He was quickly beaten in the air by Trusty as the defender headed wide before Furuhashi finished impressively after the visitors got the break of the ball from the resulting goal kick and Nicolas Kuhn headed the striker clear.
Furuhashi fired just over 90 seconds into the second half but McGregor’s 25-yard drive caught out Sinclair in the 54th minute after the captain received the ball from Kuhn following a short corner.
