CELTIC thumped St Johnstone 7-0 today in an outstanding performance at Celtic Park.

The bhoys opened their account for this evening with three points and a massive statement.

There were man of the match performances all over the park. Ryan Christi and his hat-trick edges proceedings and overall there was so many standouts.

One man who deserves praise is El Hamed, who made his Celtic debut from the start on Saturday afternoon.

The player looked settled, assured and showed dome quality on the ball.

Unfortunately, his debut was cut short when the Israeli picked up a knock. After the game, the Celtic manager gave an update on the player’s situation.

Speaking to Alison Conroy, he confirmed the player had suffered a dead leg.

While this is unfortunate, a dead leg means he won’t be out long term and could be back by next weekend.

Celtic head to Romania on Tuesday afternoon to get set for their Wednesday night game against Cluj.
