Saint Johnstone 0 Celtic 2 - Leigh Griffiths returns and delivers a precious 1stgoal! - 0762 - 04-10-2020
Celtic started this match without Broony and Christie and were "mince" for most of the game v a very well organised and "stuffy" Saints' side. Too slow in their build up play, Frimpong also ineffective, Taylor ditto, same re Turnbull's 1st start debut in place of Broony plus a poor Edouard. Griffiths comes on in the 2nd half along with Broony and Christie and Rogic. Sparky's immediate enthusiasm and predatory instinct very apparent as soon as he came on the pitch and then BANG - the predatory striker delivers with a precious breakthrough 1st goal on 90 mins and Klimala "puts the icing on the cake" on 92 mins with a cracking 2nd goal after being fouled on the edge of the SJ pen box but carrying on regardless and advantage Klimala - GOAL!!

Celtic were absolutely rotten today, but you just knew Griffiths was going to do them a turn. They are still grinding out the wins, very often on the back of long European away treks.
Strongly linked with snodgrass in the media this morning. Lenny giving little away afterwards in his interview.

Neil Lennon saying in his post-match interview that he will be busy tomorrow and hopefully bringing in two more players. One of them Snodgrass?? Wait n see eh.

Just saw sevco get another ridiculous penalty there
Even billy Dodds said it was soft. Todays line up of hunnery includes the leader of the conservative and unionist party running the line and Andrew Dallas as 4th official. They are taking no chances.

Yep! I previously commented I'm counting down pen claims against Rangers since the start of the season and some are real "stonewallers" but amazingly none awarded to their opponents whatsoever!!
And yet look at some of the pens they are getting compared with other pen offences that they are committing! I'm wondering how long this phenomenon is gonna continue for (until lots more observers "twig" what is going on?) - the consistency is ridiculous!!

Dunno about snodgrass but reports they are signing some Uruguayan LB from AC Milan.

That poss signing would likely be additional cover for the position.
