Back Celtic Win To Nil @ 2.021/1 v St Johnstone

Tobias Gourlay's in Scotland for what he thinks should be a routine home win for Celtic

Celtic v St Johnstone
Saturday 15:00

In France last night, Angers went 2-0 up in St Etienne before the hosts came roaring back to draw 2-2 and help us land our BTTS bet.

We're north of the border today for Celtic's Scottish Premiership clash with St Johnstone. We're backing this one to go to the form book and for the hosts to not give the Saints a sniff.

The Bhoys were held to a 1-1 draw by Dundee United last time out at Celtic Park. Before that, however, they'd won their first three home league games by a combined 15-0, delivering the Win To Nil on each occasion.

On their final road trip of last season, Callum Davidson's St Johnstone came to Celtic Park and lost 0-4. This term, the Saints have tightened up a little, going W1-D2-L1 on the road. However, they've scored just a single goal across those four games - in a narrow win over Aberdeen - and they might struggle to find a way through Celtic's much tighter defence. At anything above even money, we'll take the hosts to deliver a fourth Win to Nil in five home matches.
