Celtic laid down a marker to champions Rangers by beating 10-man St Mirren 6-0 at Parkhead, with David Turnbull scoring a hat-trick for the home side.
Liel Abada opened the scoring after 17 minutes, before Alan Power’s sending-off made the visitors’ task even harder, with Abada soon doubling Celtic’s lead.
