Nadir Ciftci: Win over St Johnstone "pleasing" for Celtic

Celtic striker Nadir Ciftci admits that it was "pleasing" to beat St Johnstone 3-0 in the Scottish Premiership.

Nadir Ciftci has described Celtic's win over St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park in the Scottish Premiership as "pleasing".

The Turkish striker scored twice in the 3-0 win, moving the current Scottish champions four points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand over second-placed Aberdeen.

The 23-year-old told BBC Sport: "We had a tough game on Thursday and had to recover quickly. It's a heavy pitch and hard on the legs so it's pleasing to get the win. There is always pressure at a club like this so I need to make the most of the chances I get."

The Hoops bowed out of the Europa League following a 1-1 draw with Fenerbahce earlier this week.
