Kyogo Furuhashi scored a brace to help Celtic produce one of the comprehensive football results of the weekend in the Scottish Premiership. Abada scored the game’s first goal in the 15th minute by viciously volleying in a corner before Furuhashi skillfully lobbed Trevor Carson. After the break, the striker added his second goal with a close-range tap-in to end any chances of a St. Mirren comeback. Declan Gallagher for the visitors—the only team to defeat Celtic this year—hit the crossbar, but Turnbull added gloss for Ange Postecoglou’s squad late in the game with a piledriver from 30 yards that struck the bottom corner.

Within the first eight minutes of the second half, Kyogo ensured that any dreams of a St. Mirren comeback were shattered. Jota produced a precise, low cross that the striker met on the first attempt, and after the goal was initially scored for offside, the VAR overturned the decision. Declan Gallagher’s forceful header from Ryan Strain’s right-wing cross nearly gave the visitors a point when it hit the top of the crossbar. But this time the offside flag correctly disallowed James Forrest’s tap-in from Furuhashi’s square pass because the striker was offside as he dashed in from behind to seize Jota’s pass, depriving Celtic of a fourth goal. Turnbull’s late shocker, a thunderous shot from 30 yards that struck the bottom corner, could not be disputed, though.
