Chris Sutton was impressed by Celtic’s emphatic win away to St Johnstone.
The hoops raced into a 3-0 lead within half an hour of the kick-off with Sutton watching the action from the BT Sports gantry.
St Johnstone had only lost three goals in their eight previous matches but weren’t at the races as Neil Lennon’s side hit top gear, creating two good chances before Olivier Ntcham headed the opening goal in the fifth minute.
Celtic emphatic 3-0 win… Ntcham excellent. Griffiths another goal… another important 3 points??

Celtic dropped a gear after the break with Tommy Wright re-organising his side with former Celt Jamie McCart introduced to their defence.
The victory maintained Celtic’s five point advantage and helped build on the momentum since the winter break in Dubai with a fourth successive victory.
James Forrest and Leigh Griffiths added to the scoring with Celtic three in front before Jermain Defoe opened the scoring four minutes before half-time at Ibrox.
On Sunday Sutton will be part of the BT Sport team at Hamilton as Neil Lennon’s side look for their fifth win of 2020.
