Trivia

  • Celtic go 10pts behind Huns, but they've a game in hand.
  • Josh Thompson scores first his goal.

Review

Robbie Keane scored his ninth Celtic goal as they reduced Rangers' lead in theLeague to 10 points by easing aside St Johnstone. Josh Thompson scored his first goal, and the team played some great football in the second half. We could have won by more but can't complain with 3-0. Good day at the office.

Very low crowd for Celtic, disappointing to see.

This turned out to be Tony Mowbray's final home game as Celtic manager.
