Glasgow, Scotland – Celtic's 2-0 win over St Johnstone at Parkhead on Sunday moved the club to within one point of clinching the Scottish Premier League title.
St Johnstone frustrated Celtic in a scoreless first half and should have taken the lead a few minutes after the break when Cillian Sheridan missed the net from six yards.
The missed chance proved costly for the visiting side as Celtic snatched the lead in the 66th minute when Kris Commons floated a free kick to the back post for Georgios Samaras to finish off with his head.
The Greek striker had a hand in the Hoops doubling their lead four minutes later when his cross into the penalty area was redirected into his own net by St Johnstone's Chris Millar, sealing the win.
Celtic will travel to Kilmarnock next Saturday needing only a point to lift the trophy, while St Johnstone saw its six-match unbeaten streak come to an end as the side continues to chase a place in Europe.
