Lennon content as Kayal blasts Celtic past Saints

BERAM KAYAL grabbed his first goal for Celtic to give the Bhoys a narrow 1-0 win over St Johnston and extend their Clydesdale Bank Premier League over bitter rivals Rangers.

The Israel international scored his first Hoops goal just before half-time to seal a win that moved his side move five points clear of the Light Blues.

Celtic boss Neil Lennon was glad to make a winning return to the touchline after completing a five-game ban. “It was a game I was concerned about in the circumstances but I thought we went about our business well,” he said.
