Celtic defeats St Johnstone 1-0 to maintain league winning streak

Celtic secured a 1-0 victory over St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park on Wednesday night, marking the club's sixth consecutive league win. Mika Baur provided the deciding goal for the visitors, converting a cross from Hassan following a concerted effort to increase the attacking tempo in the second half. Manager Martin O’Neill noted that while his team controlled the opening period, they relied on a crucial save from Sam Johnstone to keep the match level before breaking the deadlock. The result sustains Celtic's current undefeated start in league play. The squad now shifts focus to a League Cup quarter-final match scheduled for this Sunday at Ibrox. O’Neill characterized the upcoming fixture as a significant test, noting the game will be played away from home without supporters in attendance.
