Soccer - SPL Review:Marc-Antoine Fortune's second-half brace helped Celtic beat 10-man St Johnstone 4-1 at McDiarmid Park to move to within seven points of Scottish Premier League leaders Rangers with a game in hand.
Liam Craig gave Saints the lead from the penalty spot after Glenn Loovens had tugged Steven Milne inside the box but the game turned in the visitors' favour after Graham Gartland was sent off seconds into the second half for a last man foul on Fortune.
The former Nancy striker equalised with a wonderful angled drive in the 64th minute and notched a second from close range, either side of a Georgios Samaras drive, with substitute Paddy McCourt sealing the win with a late solo goal.
In the day's other game, Jon Daly struck a hat-trick as Dundee United beat Falkirk 4-1 to regain third spot with their fourth consecutive victory.
David Goodwillie coolly slotted his third goal during their winning run to give United a deserved 29th-minute lead and Daly struck either side of half-time.
The Irishman completed his treble in the closing stages as United continued their strong revival from the difficult initial spell that followed Craig Levein's departure, although Pedro Moutinho's injury-time consolation denied them a fourth successive clean sheet.
