St Johnstone 0-1 Celtic: What Valakari said

St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari: "You play against the champions and big credit to them. That's why they are the champions - they find their way to win these matches, even when it's an even game.

"We created enough chances to get something. That's the disappointment of the evening, that we could not score those. We were in the match the whole match.

"It is a performance, not a result. When we keep performing, just taking care of our performances, the results, they will come."
