Aaron Mooy continued his impressive run of form with a goal as Celtic brushed St Johnstone aside 4-1 at McDiarmid Park on Sunday afternoon.

The Australian has forced his way into the starting reckoning for the champions and has now chipped in with four goals and an assist in his last four games.

Since his World Cup exploits during the winter break, Mooy has scored all six of his Celtic goals and two of his five assists. 

When asked by the BBC after the St Johnstone victory what it is boss Ange Postecoglou asks of him, Mooy replied: "There's lots of details that go into that. Just positionally, in movements, defensively, when have the ball and when we don't. 

"There are lots of things but I'm just trying to improve and get better at it. Yeah, that's it... it's simple.

"It's a good team to play in, it's enjoyable. We play good football, there's lots of movement. When I have the ball there are lots of people making runs - that's what I like. I like to play the ball in behind sometimes and yeah it's an enjoyable place to play."

Mooy netted the third of Celtic's four goals with an Andy Considine own-goal opening the scoring for the league leaders before Kyogo Furuhashi added his 22nd strike of the campaign. 

Drey Wright pulled one back for the Perth Saints before Mooy's goal while David Turnbull added the fourth late on.

"I sorta knew what I was going to do in my head before the ball came," Mooy said of his goal. "My first touch was good so once I took that first touch I knew I could lift it over him [Saints goalkeeper Remi Matthews]."
