St Johnstone 0-6 Celtic – Yet another five star performance to set us up nicely for Dortmund…
Last night was one of our best if not the best performance of the season so far and given how well the team has been playing since the games in the United States, that is saying something. Yesterday was rather special.
Despite the shocking decision to disallow our first goal just because Auston Trusty had the nerve to be stronger than his opponent, we didn’t dwell on it and blew St Johnstone away with a phenomenal show of football. We await Willie Collum’s VAR review show explaining why the goal was disallowed by theRangers fan on VAR .
Each and every single goal was superb – all seven of them – and it was genuinely hard to pick the best one, although I have to say that Adam Idah’s finish from a brilliant passage of play and a superb lay off from Alex Valle is my personal favourite.
Kyogo looked lively and registered a brace as he bagged his first away goals in nearly a year. Callum McGregor kept up his good record of scoring outside the box this season when he hit the fourth.
Paulo Bernardo who scored our second with a fine effort, also registered an assist as he provided Daizen Maeda to score the fifth, and Adam Idah of course rounded the scoring off with a finely crafted team goal, despite the officials best attempts to chalk it off.
We could have score more with Luke McCowan unluckily denied by the post and the keeper in quick succession in the closing minutes, but the game was well won and we couldn’t have any complaints. This was Celtic at their wonderful best, and we really have been treated to some great football this season, with more yet to come.
This sets us up nicely for our trip to Germany on Tuesday. Yes, Dortmund will be a much more formidable opponent, but we can head there in high in confidence especially with the way we’ve been playing this season. Wherever we go we fear no foe…COYBIG!

Just an Ordinary Bhoy
Played a much stronger side than I was expecting, and didn’t expect ourselves to keep the foot to the floor approach either, especially within a game already well won?
Fantastic viewing, with the amount of quality shown was absolutely sensational, matched by the goals scored?
We know Rodgers likes to set records in Scottish football, and what’s to say that he has the intentions of trying to break the records he has already set, with this current team?
Confidence can be a massive factor in football, and our Celtic team are currently over flowing with it at present, and most importantly, it is on show throughout the whole team, and those getting introduced into the team, aren’t lacking to much either at present?
We have the look of such a worthy CL team at present, which will be tested fully in dortmund?
But if we can keep playing to the standards we have set ourselves, which are growing also, then getting a result in Dortmund can no longer be classed as an impossible task imo?
