Celtic defeat St Johnstone 1-0 in Scottish Premiership

Overview

St Johnstone hosted Celtic at McDiarmid Park for a Scottish Premiership match on September 9, 2026.

Celtic secured a 1-0 victory, with Mika Baur scoring the decisive goal in the second half to extend the team’s winning streak. The match saw significant squad rotation, including the first start for midfielder Oliver Sørensen and the debut of on-loan goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.

Despite the win and a 60% possession rate with an expected goals (xG) of 2.22, Celtic manager Martin O’Neill expressed dissatisfaction with the performance. O’Neill stated the squad is “still well short of it” and noted difficulties in converting chances. He also addressed the exclusion of Colombian attacker Camilo Durán from the starting lineup, admitting the team likely requires his presence both on and off the ball. Celtic faces a busy upcoming schedule involving the Premier Sports Cup and the Europa League.
