Craig Gordon was full of praise for the Celtic goal scorers after their victory over St Johnstone earlier today.
Leigh Griffiths scored straight from the kickoff, and Stefan Johansen added a second after the break in the 2-1 victory over seventh-placed St Johnstone.
"It was a difficult game and this is always a hard place to come to," Gordon told CelticFC.net. "It was a bobbly pitch and they put absolutely everything into the game.
"It's always a test away from home and they gave a good account of themselves and nearly nicked something near the end. It's always difficult when you play a second game after a midweek game, so it was just as well that we got an early goal. That's two games in a row [that we have scored early goals] and you don't often see that.
"It put us in good position early in the game and we had to dig deep and defend. Virgil [van Dijk] made a few good headers at the end and we managed to keep them out and get the three points."
Celtic welcome Inter Milan to Celtic Park next Thursday in the first knockout round of the UEFA Europa League.
