On This Day in 2021, Celtic showed their progress under new manager Ange Postecoglou with a thumping 6-0 win over St Mirren. A brace from Liel Abada, a hat-trick from David Turnbull and Odsonne Edouard’s final goal for Celtic
Liel Abada gave Celtic the lead with a left-footed strike that deceived Jak Alnwick in the Saints net. The Israeli winger took the ball into the box from the right-hand side before sending his effort goal-ward.
Minutes later, Liel Abada scored the second of the game as the winger found himself on the end of a good cross from Greg Taylor. The 19-year-old headed the ball into the ground leaving the goalie with no chance.
David Turnbull made it 3-0 with an excellent strike from distance. Turnbull made it 4-0 to Celtic after an error from the St Mirren goalkeeper. The Scottish midfielder got a second of the afternoon after Alnwick fumbled a cross, allowing Celtic’s No.14 to stick the ball into the net. The first half finished 4-0 to the Celts.
Odsonne Edouard had Celtic’s fifth with a finish from close range. It was Turnbull that got a hat-trick and completed the rout as Albian Ajeti forced a mistake from the Saints defender before playing Tom Rogic in. The Australian clipped the ball into Turnbull’s path, who dinked it over Alnwick. It was 6-0 but it really could have been more.
