Leigh Griffiths monopolised the headlines at St Johnstone yesterday but there was one aspect in danger of being overlooked.
The former Hibs striker made the breakthrough but if you want a breath-taking goal to discuss then it has to be Patryk Klimala’s strike three minutes later.
I’m not sure if Griffiths is clairvoyant or still celebrating his own goal but he’s got his arms up very early celebrating Klimala’s goal. https://t.co/049bOK8jdP

Typical of the day, and Scottish football in general, Liam Gordon made an utterly brutal attack on Klimala clear in the knowledge that Nick Walsh had allowed all sorts to go previously with barely a reference to his cards.
The Celtic sub could have gone down, rolled around to run the clock down but had other ideas.
Stepping forward he drew Zander Clark from his line then delivered a firm shot into the net just seconds after Gordon had tried to seriously injure him.
Bizarrely Griffiths seemed to suspect something as he looked on from the left of play. His arms probably went up looking for a free kick but they stayed up as his team mate found the net.
