Celtic easily won the Scottish Premiership last season but it's not been so straightforward ths time around. Finally though they are starting to dominate and are now five points clear at the top of the table. They have won their last three league games and kept a clean sheet in each of them. That includes a 2-0 home win over St Johnstone in midweek. Their away form isn't great with just one win in their last four but that's been aganist tougher opposition than St Johnstone.
The home side must dread home games against Celtic. Earlier in the season they lost 6-0 at home to them and their last four league games at home to the champions has seen them concede 19 goals. St Johnstone are sixth in the Scottish Premiership but have lost their last two league games without scoring. Only one of their last five home league games has been won and this looks booked for Celtic to get the win leading at half and full time.
