Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers reckons his side are getting back to their best after their 6-0 demolition of St.Johnstone last Sunday.

The Hoops have looked a shadow of the team that won the double treble at the start of this Scottish Premiership season, but Rodgers believes his side are gradually approaching their top form.

“We’re getting better step by step and getting more fluency into our performance. Today was an outstanding team performance. It starts with our pressing. If you press well, you pass well. Too many times this season we’ve not pressed well enough,” Rodgers told his post-match press conference after the St.Johnstone game.

Rodgers also heaped praise on attacker James Forrest who netted four times during a sensational individual performance.

“It was great for James and it marked off a challenging week for him. He’s shown, not just in Scotland, his quality and ability and his finishing. It was an outstanding individual performance.”
