Celtic beat St Johnstone 2-0 this afternoon, with Jeremy Toljan making his debut.
Celtic picked up another win this afternoon as they beat St Johnstone 2-0 at McDiarmid Park to re-open the six-point gap to Rangers at the top of the table.
The Bhoys beat Hamilton in midweek, and they added another victory today – though they did leave it a little late to grab all three points in the end.
Brendan Rodgers’ side were left frustrated for more than an hour, with Tommy Wright’s men threatening to take points off the Bhoys in a surprise result.
However, Celtic went ahead on 78 minutes when James Forrest found the net, and Timothy Weah grabbed a second in the 89th minute to seal all three points.
Kristoffer Ajer did pick up a late red card, but it was a mostly positive day for Celtic, who were also able to hand a debut to defender Jeremy Toljan.
The German right back joined Celtic on loan for the rest of the season on deadline day, having been effectively frozen out at parent club Borussia Dortmund.
Toljan came on as a substitute for the injured Mikael Lustig at half time, and impressed down the right flank, giving Celtic fans a glimpse of his quality.
Bhoys supporters took to Twitter this evening to hail Toljan, suggesting that he looks ‘quality’ and ‘oozed class’, with fans really encouraged that Rodgers may have finally found a solution to Celtic’s right back issues – even if it is only until the summer as things stand.
