Joe Hart had one thing to say as Celtic wrapped up the three points against St Johnstone – "thank f*** for that".It was manic late scenes in Perth as Matt O'Riley's stunner that gave Brendan Rodgers’ side the lead was tested in the final moments of injury time when a cross to Saints man Jay Turner-Cooke could not be converted inside the six yard box.
Hart leapt in to action with a brilliant saving touch. That relief was compounded when seconds later the ball was in the back of the net at the other end when James Forrest gift wrapped the three points with a goal during a far better display in the second half.It puts Celtic 11 points clear of Rangers and ends a horror week for the champions.
And Hart's emotion came gushing out after Forrest hit the net, running out to embrace defender Liam Scales as the Sky Sports cameras picked him up mouthing his expletive and relief-laden comment.Follow Record Sport on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for all of the up-to-the minute breaking news, video and audio on the SPFL, the Scotland national team and beyond.You can also follow our dedicated Rangers and Celtic podcast pages and sign up to our newsletters to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.
