Celtic spanks St Johnstone to extend perfect start
Celtic stormed to the top of the Scottish Premiership with a thumping 6-0 win away at St Johnstone.
The defending champion thought it had taken the lead early on through Daizen Maeda, but VAR intervened spotting a foul in the build-up.
Nevertheless, a brace from Kyogo Furuhashi and Paulo Bernardo's sumptuous strike virtually ended the contest at half-time.
There was to be no mercy in the second half as captain Callum McGregor added a fourth for Celtic shortly after the restart.
Maeda and substitute Adam Idah added further gloss to the scoreline to make it six league wins out of six for Brendan Rodgers' side so far this campaign and take it top of the table ahead of Aberdeen on goal difference.
St Johnstone is now just a point above second bottom in the table.
Celtic has kept a clean sheet in each of its past six games in the league.
Its previous longest period of games without conceding a goal in the competition was a run of seven games from 26 April 2015 to 9 August 2015.
With two assists in this match, meanwhile, Nicolas Kuhn now has four in total for the season, which is two more than any other player in the Scottish Premiership.
