Mika Baur scores in Celtic win against St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park

Celtic secured a 1-0 victory over St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park on September 9, 2026, marking the club's sixth consecutive win in the Scottish Premiership. Summer signing Mika Baur netted the decisive goal in the 52nd minute following an assist from Haissem Hassan. Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone maintained the clean sheet, denying the home side an opener during the first half. Manager Martin O’Neill rotated the squad for the fixture, resting key players ahead of an upcoming match against Rangers. An additional goal from a Kasper Hogh header was disallowed following a video assistant referee review, which ruled that the ball had crossed the byline during the build-up. Celtic remains the only team to secure a win at St Johnstone's home ground during the current season.
