Giorgos Giakoumakis snatches Celtic winner amid late drama at St Johnstone

Giorgos Giakoumakis netted the winner for Celtic in a dramatic finale against St Johnstone in Perth. Defender Alex Mitchell scored a stoppage-time equaliser for St Johnstone to cancel out Andrew Considine’s 42nd-minute own goal and Celtic looked set to drop points for the second consecutive away match in the league.

But Giakoumakis turned home Alexandro Bernabei’s cross in the fifth minute of time added on to earn the Hoops a 2-1 win and consolidate their position at the top of the table.

The champions had wasted opportunities to extend their half-time lead and Joe Hart pushed Stevie May’s shot on to the post as Saints came into the game as an attacking force in the final quarter.

Celtic were beginning an extended spell without captain Callum McGregor in the starting line-up after the midfielder suffered a knee injury in the midweek Champions League defeat by RB Leipzig.
