Scottish Premiership Review: Celtic return to the summit as Hearts suffer surprise defeat
Champions Celtic came from behind against St Johnstone to record a 3-1 win at Celtic Park and return to the top of the Scottish Premiership.
Celtic put their European heartache behind them as a 3-1 victory over St Johnstone returned Ronny Deila's side to the top of the Scottish Premiership.
Leigh Griffiths, Tom Rogic and Charlie Mulgrew sealed Celtic's success on Saturday as Deila's men made it five wins from six in the league this season.
Dedryck Boyata's own goal after 11 minutes had threatened to prolong the midweek agony of their UEFA Champions League exit, but Griffiths soon restored parity with a powerful drive.
As half-time approached, Rogic netted his second of the campaign, before Mulgrew made victory certain just after the hour with a stooping header.
