Celtic – ST Johnstone

Match analysis

Celtic head into the clash at Celtic Park perched atop the table with a perfect record of six wins from six, 18 points and a dominant 14‑3 goal difference. Their opponents, St Johnstone, sit seventh with seven points after two victories, a draw and three defeats, and a modest 8‑9 deficit in the scoring column. The gap between the sides is stark, not only in points but also in offensive firepower, as Celtic have scored nearly twice as many goals while conceding far fewer. Historically the two clubs have met numerous times, but Celtic’s recent form suggests they will be looking to extend their unbeaten run and widen the gap at the summit, while St Johnstone will need a standout performance to close the disparity. The outcome could further cement Celtic’s dominance or provide a rare upset that reshapes the mid‑table battle.
