Ange Postecoglou has really landed lucky with the form of Aaron Mooy.
Who could have guessed that a former EPL midfielder and current internationalist would be able to outsmart opponents in the SPFL playing alongside the best players in the country.
For a short spell after Drey Wright found the net with a low 25 yard drive the home-side threatened an equaliser but Mooy put paid to that notion with in the 38th minute to restore Celtic’s two goal lead.

An Andy Considine own goal and Kyogo Furuhashi’s 22nd goal of the season had given Celtic an early cushion as they sought to restore their nine point lead at the top of the Premiership.
Celtic dominated the second half but had to wait until stoppage time before they found the net again with David Turnbull scoring from a free kick after Consodine was sent off for dragging Oh Hyeun-gyu to the ground at the edge of the penalty box.
Today was the 14th time this season that Celtic have scored four or more goals in the SPFL, as well as a nine point advantage they are 25 goals better off than their nearest challengers.
What a player .
Soul destroying for them , conveniently playing the day before us almost every weekend and winning
Yet can’t claw back any points and the GD is getting bigger
I wonder what Mr Bean will fink about the GAP not closing it anytime soon and the goal difference is through the roof.
A fink he might use anover how lucky Big Ange is headline.
It seems that every time Celtic scores these days, the opposition defenders automatically claim for offside.
It is becoming really noticeable.
