St Johnstone 0-6 Celtic: Defending champions continue perfect start

Celtic stormed to the top of the Scottish Premiership with a thumping 6-0 win away at St Johnstone.

The defending champions thought they had taken the lead early on through Daizen Maeda, but VAR intervened due to 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 though, 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 them top, ahead of Aberdeen on goal difference.

St Johnstone are now just a point above second bottom in…
