Celtic’s Unique Angle coverage of the 3-1 win at St Johnstone threw up a bonus clip for supporters.

Two spectacular goals and a classic breakaway were perfectly captured but it is hard to decide when to start coverage of James Forrest’s goal.

The substitute started the move with a clearance from the edge of his own penalty box but seconds before Joe Hart pulled off a fantastic save to deny St Johnstone an equaliser. Had that gone in the aftermath to the match would have been very different.

The introduction of Mikey Johnston at half-time followed quickly by Oh Hyeon-gyu changed the dynamic of the match.

Suddenly Celtic had a winger prepared to go into the penalty box, backed up by a physical striker that occupied the home defenders. Space opened up, the pace increased, the openings were created and goals scored.

After the angriest half-time team talk of his career attention is now on the Celtic line up to start against Hibs on Wednesday night.
