Celtic 3-0 St Mirren: Analysis

Brendan Rodgers asked for some perspective after the non-performance from his side at Ibrox, pointing out it was their first league defeat of the season after a 34-game unbeaten domestic run.

While it would be a stretch to say Celtic were back to their very best here, they did show enough quality to get the job done in relative comfort.

The first goal was well constructed and, once the champions made the breakthrough, they took firm control.

Luke McCowan buzzed around the midfield, eager to get on the ball wherever possible and showed some real moments of class.

Alistair Johnson was a constant threat down the right, combining well with Nicolas Kuhn and putting numerous dangerous balls into the St Mirren box.

Kuhn once again was the game-breaker and if he continues the type of form he has demonstrated in the first half of the campaign, the winger will be hard to ignore when the player of the year awards are being handed out.
