It was a comfortable evening in Glasgow for Ange Postecoglou's side as four goals saw sent St Mirren asunder at Parkhead.
Celtic looked strong from the get-go with Liel Abada smashing the ball home inside the box after Carl Starfelt and debutant Yuki Kobayashi went close from a corner. Postecoglou's men looked dominant before a lovely ball from Josip Juranovic landed at Kyogo's feet as he improvised with a stunning lob to beat Trevor Carson before netting again in the second half after a great pass from Jota.
David Turnbull then came off the bench to seal his customary goal against the Buddies in an absolute stroll in Glasgow.

Introducing Yuki
Yuki Kobayashi took to the Parkhead stage for his debut and looked comfortable as ever next to new partner Carl Starfelt.
The Japanese star was involved early on and nearly hit the opening goal from a corner but saw his effort hit the post before Abada connected. The rest of the game involved him dealing with Jonah Ayunga and offering support to Starfelt under little drastic threat.
A solid showing from the 22-year-old who will be giving Postecoglou something to consider with his team selection.
JJ on the left, AJ on the right
Postecoglou once again freshened things up with his squad with Josip Juranovic tasked with playing on his unfavoured left-side.
But the Croatian looked strong alongside Jota and carved a wonderful assist to Kyogo for the second goal at Parkhead, much improved from a hugely testing display at left back against Rangers.
Meanwhile on the right Alistair Johnston continued to impress and seems to be holding his own among the defence. He could even become the number one choice should his Croatian counterpart leave Glasgow this month.
Kyogoal and VAR again
Two of Celtic's goals were subject to further VAR checks with another one ruled out at Parkhead.
Some Hoops fans have not been too pleased with the technology in recent weeks but all decisions in Glasgow seemed spot on.
Kyogo, who often impresses by playing right on the shoulder, will invariably always be involved in VAR checks due to his electric pace and defences playing chicken with the attacker.
But VAR - which has taken centre stage in recent times - won't grab any major headlines tonight.
