Glasgow: Celtic manager Ronny Deila says Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven are finally settling into life at the Glasgow giants after they scored the goals that sealed a 3-1 win over St Johnstone on Saturday.

However, a double from Mackay-Steven and a solitary strike from Armstrong saw the Hoops restore their six-point advantage over Aberdeen at the top of the Scottish Premiership table.
