SPL result

Celtic celebrated the presentation of the Scottish Premier League trophy by delivering a blow to St Johnstone's Europa League qualification hopes.

It was a stroll at Celtic Park from the first minute, when Joe Ledley fired powerfully into the far corner.
Anthony Stokes claimed he had got a touch on a Charlie Mulgrew free-kick that curled in at the back post.
After the break, James Forrest drilled low into the far corner and Frazer Wright added a late own-goal.
Before kick-off, manager Neil Lennon had again failed to rule out a move to Everton to fill the vacancy created by his fellow Celtic old boy David Moyes' summer switch to Manchester United.
But the fact Lennon's team could swat aside the challenge of fourth-top Saints without reaching the heights of their own capabilities might not have done much for his chances of landing the Everton job should he want it.

 This was a victory as emphatic as the 16-point gap it opened up between Celtic and second-placed Motherwell pending the afternoon fixtures and gave ammunition to those who argue the SPL is not the sternest test of the Northern Irishman's abilities.
Countryman Steve Lomas and his St Johnstone side had travelled from Perth in confident mood, looking to extend their unbeaten run to seven games.
They also arrived unbeaten in the previous three SPL meetings between the sides this season.
However, with the exception of stomach-bug victim Kris Commons, Celtic were back to near full strength after recent time off for some before their Scottish Cup final against Hibernian.
Perhaps the most significant return was that of captain Scott Brown after a three-month absence and an early characteristic thrust into the opposing penalty box by the Scotland midfielder started the move that led to the opening goal.
