by Steve Ashfield in Scottish Premiership Predictions
Celtic are 13 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership. Another league title looks on its way and this weekend they travel to St Johnsone who are bottom of the table. Could the Bhoys suffer a shock defeat? Read our match prediction below.
25 league games have been won by Celtic this season. They have 78 league points and that is exactly three times the number their opponents have earned. The Celts beat Hearts 3-0 in their most recent league victory. Four of their last five games in all competitions have been won.
The other saw them beaten by second-placed Rangers. Celtic have scored 92 league goals this season with only 20 being conceded. On the road, 11 of their 15 matches in the Scottish Premiership have been won with only two defeats.
St Johnstone can only dream of achieving such statistics. They are five points adrift at the bottom of the table and have already lost 19 league games this season. They were beaten 3-0 at Hibs in their last fixture and have gone three games without a win.
Home form has produced four wins but nine losses. They have played Celtic twice this season and lost 4-0 away and 6-0 at home.
We tip Celtic to win and lead at both half and full time.

It seems only a matter of time until Celtic win the Scottish Premiership title. They are 13 points clear of second-placed Rangers and this weekend travel to bottom-of-the-table St Johnstone. They regularly beat their opponents and two wins this season have been by a 10-0 aggregate.
St Johnstone are in deep relegation trouble with only a third of the points Celtic have earned this season. Not since 2016 have they beaten Celtic at home. Our St Johnstone v Celtic prediction is Celtic to win and lead at half and full time.
