A first goal always carries weight, but this one mattered beyond the individual milestone. In a game decided by fine margins, Baur provided the moment that turned control into points. For a side already moving through the opening stretch with authority, a new scorer adds another layer.
That matters over a long campaign. Teams that sustain winning runs rarely rely on one route to victory. They need different match-winners, especially on away days when rhythm can be harder to find.
The scoreline says plenty. Celtic did not need a flood of goals; they needed a clean, efficient performance and they got it. Runs like six wins from six are built as much on disciplined away wins as on statement scorelines at home.
There is also a psychological edge in these results. Winning narrowly keeps momentum intact and reinforces the habit of finding a solution when games tighten up. That is often what separates a fast start from a serious title charge.
A perfect return from six league matches gives Celtic firm early control of their own narrative. Every week that unbeaten run continues, the pressure shifts onto the chasing pack. Dropped points elsewhere start to feel heavier when one team keeps collecting them all.
For now, the story is simple: Celtic are winning, Baur has his first goal, and the standards remain high. The next test is whether they can turn this strong opening into a longer stretch of authority as the fixtures keep coming and the first real swings of the title race begin.
