Celtic have extended their lead at the top of the Scottish Premier League table to four points with a comfortable victory over St Mirren at Parkhead.

The Hoops, who have now won their last four games in all competitions, broke the deadlock through Victor Wanyama on 15 minutes.

Charlie Mulgrew found Wanyama six yards from goal and the Belgian midfielder made no mistake with a clinical finish.

Neil Lennon's men had ample chances to extend the lead but their forwards, Georgios Samaras in particular, were very wasteful in front of goal.

However, Gary Hooper sealed the win seven minutes from time, tucking home Mulgrew's low cross from close range.
