Celtic scored three second-half goals to beat St Mirren 3-0 and put more pressure on Rangers in the Scottish Premiership title race.
Brendan Rodgers’ side knew a victory against the Buddies would move them four points clear of their Old Firm rivals, albeit having played two games more
It was a frustrating first half with no real chances for either side, but Reo Hatate curled the ball into the top corner from Alistair Johnston’s brilliant cross to open the scoring just after the break.
The defender then set up Kyogo Furuhashi to nod in for Celtic’s second on the hour, with substitute Adam Idah heading in late on to wrap up the victory to extend their lead ahead of Rangers’ game at Ross County on Sunday, live on Sky.
It made it three league wins for the Hoops against the Buddies who had already secured a top-six place for a second successive season.
