Celtic put St Johnstone to the sword with a seven-goal rout on Saturday.

Paddy McCourt has reacted to the ’emphatic statement’ that Celtic sent out on Saturday.
Neil Lennon’s side kicked off the defence of their Scottish Premiership title with a 7-0 demolition of St Johnstone at Parkhead.
Ryan Christie scored a hat-trick as Celtic offered a frightening glimpse into their motivation levels this season.
The big question of the summer is whether Rangers have done enough in the transfer window to deny the Hoops a ninth successive league crown come May.
Based on what happened yesterday, it might not matter what Steven Gerrard’s side do this season.
Here’s what Bhoys legend McCourt wrote about the match on Twitter:
Rangers begin their domestic season with a trip to Kilmarnock this afternoon and the pressure is already on the Gers to respond.
They don’t have to win by seven goals, but a good win is important.
