Celtic thumps St Johnstone to pull further clear
Kyogo Furuhashi scored twice as Celtic thrashed bottom side St Johnstone 4-0 to extend its advantage at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
Nicolas Kuhn and Daizen Maeda were also on target at Celtic Park, as the Hoops pulled 14 points clear of second-place Rangers, which was held to a 2-2 draw by Motherwell ahead of next weekend's Old Firm derby.
Brendan Rodgers' side broke through on the half-hour mark with Reo Hatate setting up Kuhn for his seventh goal of the season.
The hosts doubled their advantage just before the hour with their 50th league goal of the campaign, with Kyogo nodding home from close range after a well-worked corner.
Kyogo grabbed his second five minutes later, turning home Arne Engels's inviting low cross, while substitute Maeda latched on to Paulo Bernardo's throughball to seal the rout in the 73rd minute.
Kyogo has now been directly involved in 11 goals in his past seven league appearances against St Johnstone.
