• Saints fall to defeat at Parkhead following another second half collapse, despite a very promising opening 45 minutes where they were the better side.
• Stephen Robinson changed formation for the first time this season, reverting from a 3-4-2-1 to a 3-5-1-1, with Olusanya the lone front man supported by Kiltie. A central midfield trio of O’Hara, Boyd-Munce and Baccus added solidity and allowed Saints a sense of control in the first 45 minutes.
• Injuries to Bwomono, Tanser and Kiltie with the score 0-0 however, forced Saints into multiple changes and this affected the rhythm of the side, leading to Celtic taking a grip early in the second half.
• Goals from Japanese duo, Hatate and Kyogo before the hour mark effectively killed the match, and Idah added the third after a Gogic mistake on a day the wind once more affected play more than any other player.
• Saints go into the top 6 split in 5th position with a 2 point lead over Dundee, knowing that 5th place guarantees a European qualification spot for the first time since 1987.
