The defending champions thought thꦺey had taken the lead early on through Daizen Maeda, but VAR intervened due to a foul in🌳 the build-up.
Nevertheless, a brace from Kyogo Furuhashi and Paulo Bernardo's sumptuous strike virtually𒅌 ended the contest at half-time.
There was to be no🥀 mercy in the second half though, as captain Callum McGrego꧅r added a fourth for Celtic shortly after the restart.
Maeda and substitute Adam Idah added further gloss to the scoreline to make it six league wins out of six for Brendan Rodgers' side so far this campaign and take them top, ahead of Aberdeen on goal di🐼fference.
St Johnstone are now just a p⛎oint above second bo🙈ttom in the table.
Data Debrief: Defence first
Celtic have kept a c🍷lean sheet in each of their last six games in the league.
Their last longer run of games without conceding a goal in the competition was a run of seven games from 26 April 2015 to 9 August 2015, so as well as their rampant attack, Rodgers' team have a mean defence, with St Johnston accumulating only 0.29 expected goals (xG) on Satur꧋day.
With two assists in this m🧜atch, meanwhile, Nicolas Kuhn now has four in total for the season, which is two more than anꦕy other player in the Scottish Premiership.
