Celtic dominated St Mirren at Parkhead yesterday, securing a convincing 3-0 victory to maintain their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
In the first half, St Mirren proved tough to crack, with Celtic unable to register a shot on target before the break. However, shortly into the second half, Reo Hatate broke the deadlock with a skillful finish to give Celtic the lead.
Kyogo Furuhashi then doubled Celtic’s advantage with a powerful header from an Alistair Johnston cross. Adam Idah sealed the win with a third goal, displaying strength and determination to score after dispossessing Alex Gogic.
Despite the pressure of needing a win to stay on track for the league title, Celtic remained composed and focused, claiming the victory they needed. With just five more wins required in the post-split matches, Brendan Rodgers and his team are on track for a third consecutive league trophy.
St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson praised Celtic’s quality moments that ultimately secured the win, acknowledging the challenge of facing a team of Celtic’s caliber. He emphasized the importance of capitalizing on mistakes against such strong opposition.
Although St Mirren put up a commendable fight, Celtic’s superior performance on the day highlighted their dominance. Now, all eyes are on the upcoming Scottish Cup semi-final against Aberdeen as Celtic continue their quest for a domestic double under Rodgers’ leadership.
