Kyogo Furuhashi netted twice in five second-half minutes as Celtic extended their lead over Rangers to 14 points with a one-sided 4-0 win over St Johnstone.

Nicolas Kuhn had opened the scoring and substitute Daizen Maeda rounded off Celtic’s second 4-0 victory in three days.

The win put Celtic further out of sight of Rangers ahead of their visit to Ibrox on January 2 after the Light Blues drew 2-2 against Motherwell.

It also completed a highly fruitful 2024 for Celtic, who end the year with just two defeats in all competitions plus all three major domestic trophies in their cabinet as well as their healthy lead in the William Hill Premiership table.
