Mika Baur delighted to open his scoring account for Celtic

Mika Baur produced a Man of the Match performance at McDiarmid Park, scoring the only goal of the game to give Celtic a 1-0 victory over St Johnstone and all three points.

The win made it six out of six in the Premiership for the Champions, and Baur was delighted with the result, along with the fact that he netted his first goal for the Hoops.

Speaking to CelticPlayer after the game, the midfielder said modestly: “It was a tap-in and not that special, but I'm very, very happy that I scored the winning goal. And in the end, it was a deserved win.

“We had a tough first half and we can thank Sam (Johnstone). He was brilliant, so it was down to him that it was 0-0 at half-time. Then in the second half we did much better.

'We created chances, we played faster and we had a better position during the game.'

And having now settled into a new apartment in the city, Baur is enjoying life on and off the park. Next up for the 22-year-old is his first Glasgow derby this Sunday in the League Cup quarter-final at Ibrox.

“I’m really look forward to it and it's a very special match,” he said. “I’m happy that I can play these matches. I never experienced it before, so I'm looking forward to Sunday.”
