Andy Fisher hopes St Johnstone’s stunning 1-0 win over Celtic will be the catalyst for achieving Scottish Premiership survival.Defender Daniels Balodis scored with a header in the fourth minute at McDiarmid Park before 27-year-old goalkeeper Fisher pulled off a string of fine saves to ensure victory.The shock win, which was the Perth club’s first victory over Celtic since 2016, moves Simo Valakari’s side to within five points of second-bottom Dundee with six fixtures remaining.Fisher, who arrived on loan from Swansea in January, said: “It’s massive.

I’m incredibly proud of everyone – the players, the staff, the fans, everyone behind the scenes.”It shows we’ve bounced back from last week (a 3-0 loss to Hibernian).

That wasn’t the result we wanted or the performance we wanted.”But we came out and got a clean sheet and got a win against Celtic, which shows we can beat anyone.

Everyone wrote us off before the game.

To get the win is like a bonus three points in a way.”It gives us a better chance to now hopefully go out and get another three points and claw back a bit of that points difference going into the split.”There’s still belief within our squad we can stay up.

Next week [away to Dundee United] is a big game, it’s a must-win.”
