SIX GOALS FOR CELTIC
ST JOHNSTONE BREAK DOWN IN SECOND HALF
Celtic had a hollow victory over St Johnstone, who fell away very badly after a promising start.
Celts, indeed, had their work cut out in the first half, although towards the interval they had the Saints worn down. Midway through the half Carruth scored Celts opening goal.
Saints, who had shown a little cohesion in the first half, had a hectic spell at the beginning of the second portion, but only for a few minutes, and then Celtic dictated matters.
With 20 minutes to go, and the Perth defence, principally Moulds, wobbling badly, Celts ran riot, and Murphy scored the second goal.
Carruth followed with number three, and then Buchan, Carruth, and Crum added further goals to put St Johnstone in a hopeless position.
The Perth defence was far from satisfactory. Celts were well served by Hogg, Morrison, Patterson, and Carruth.
Wyllie, Caskie, and, in a lesser degree, Tennant, shone in a very poor St Johnstone team.
The attendance was 12,000.
