Chris Sutton has saluted the incredible consistency set by the winning machine that Ange Postecoglou has created at Celtic.
With either a six or nine point advantage and massive goal difference cushion it would be only human if Celtic dropped in the odd sub-standard performance even if still getting the job done.
They did conceded their first goal in six matches yesterday but their trademark inventive, pressing and passing game was to the fore as they crushed St Johnstone 4-1.
I thought today might be tricky for Celtic… what do I know!!! What has been incredible is the high standards and level of performance this current Celtic team keep churning out week after week. It’s really not an easy thing to do. Total respect… but still work to do???

The relentless pressure demoralises opponents. Last week Dundee United goalkeeper Mark Birighitti was left behind his goal-line watching Jota squeeze in a header from a ridiculous angle.
Yesterday Andy Considine was the main victim, scoring an own goal, providing an assist then being red carded with the resultant free kick leading to the fourth goal. On all form there will be further victims over the coming games.
Sutton knows what a successful Celtic team feels like and looks like. He certainly likes the look of Season II of AngeBall.
