Celtic take step closer as Mark McGhee keeps clothes on – 5 things we learned

Celtic took a big step towards claiming the title on another significant weekend in the cinch Premiership season.

The Hoops restored their six-point lead over Rangers on Sunday while there were also big results at the bottom of the table.

Here are five things we learned from the weekend’s action.

With Alfredo Morelos and Kemar Roofe out injured, Fashion Sakala led the line for Rangers at Fir Park on Saturday. The Zambia international is a totally different type of attacker to either member of the aforementioned Ibrox duo but his contribution was significant. Sakala drove at the Motherwell defence before setting up Scott Wright to fire 10-man Gers back in front early in the second half, before winning the penalty that allowed James Tavernier to wrap up a 3-1 victory.

The Dundee players made McGhee promise to go naked for a week if they beat St Johnstone on the back of their manager turning off his heating and going on a diet to ensure he was cold and hungry in anticipation of the big game. Jordan Marshall fired the Dee ahead but Shaun Rooney levelled midway through the half. The equaliser ensured Dundee remain five points adrift with McGhee still looking for a first win in 10 matches and more pressing matters to worry about than his clothing.

Livingston and Hibernian all but secured their top-flight status with wins at Pittodrie and the SMISA Stadium respectively but the hosts were left still nervously looking over their shoulders. St Johnstone are now five points behind both sides and host St Mirren next weekend. The Buddies have lost seven out of eight league games under Stephen Robinson while Aberdeen have only won one Premiership game in 2022.
