The goalless draw capped a miserable few days for the manager and his struggling team.
Returning Brendan Rodgers suffered another bitter blow as his creaking Celtic dropped crucial points at home to St Johnstone.
Steven MacLean’s team hung in there, but, for all the fighting spirit and battling quality of the visitors, this was about Celtic looking out of sorts for various spells. Although dominating possession, they didn’t do enough with it. Matt O’Riley was denied by Saints keeper Mitov moments later before seeing no takers accept his exquisite ball across the six-yard box.
Sead Haksabanovic was amongst subs launched into the fray by Rodgers and the playmaker almost did the damage with a long-range strike. Saints’ Bulgarian No.1 was, again, up to the task.Dara Costello turned Scales inside-out and flashed a shot which was stopped by Joe Hart.
