The Australian failed to find the net during pre-season and was unable to find the net as Celtic opened the defence of their Scottish Premier League title with a 1-0 win over St Mirren.

Strachan told the Glasgow Evening Times: "He's not scored, but he has played well.

"It's a similar situation to last season, and he went on to finish top scorer in the country.

"We don't have a problem with Scott."
