Celtic proved they are pass masters by registering the fifth-highest possession figure in any fixture across Europe this season.

The Hoops boasted 75.1 per cent of the ball during their 7-0 demolition of St Johnstone on August 3 to take their place in the list. 

Goals from Mikey Johnston, Olivier Ntcham, Odsonne Edouard, Leigh Griffiths and a Ryan Christie hat-trick did the damage as Neil Lennon’s men made their dominance count at Celtic Park.
