  1. YELLOW CARD Alex Gogic (St Mirren)

    St Mirren 2-2 Celtic

    Lazy from the experienced Alex Gogic there.

  2. St Mirren 2-2 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    It's a change to see if Celtic can get some sort of rhythm in this game.

  3. Don't see this often... Callum McGregor is coming off for Celtic.

    So too is Adam Idah and Nicholas Kuhn.

    On come Jota, Luke McCowan and Yang Hyun-Jun.

  4. St Mirren 2-2 St Celtic

    How Toyosi Olusanya hasn't scored tonight is beyond me.

    Another decent chance goes begging for the St Mirren striker.

  5. Jota time?

    St Mirren 2-2 Celtic

    Brendan Rodgers has just had a glance up to his subs warming up behind Zach Hemming's goal.

    The obvious one to bring on is Jota for Adam Idah, with Daizen Maeda moving through the middle.

    Celtic haven't really been at it since the break.

  6. Paisley panda-monium

  7. What a ball in, Declan John.

    It has the Celtic defence at sixes and sevens, until Arne Engels gets rid for a corner.

  8. St Mirren 2-2 Celtic

    Mikael Mandron is indeed off. He's replaced by James Scott.

    Big shoes to fill.

  9. St Mirren 2-2 Celtic

    Stephen McGinn
    Former Dundee midfielder on BBC Sportsound

    This will be a big worry for St Mirren.

    I think this is arguably Mikael Mandron's best spell in a St Mirren shirt. He's really been the focal point.

    With the injury to Jonah Ayunga, they're already short in attack.

  10. St Mirren 2-2 Celtic

    Mikael Mandron drags a shot agonisingly wide, and he appears to be in some agony too.

  11. Goals a given?

    St Mirren 2-2 Celtic

    Kheredine Idessane
    BBC Scotland at the SMISA

    This is turning into a mini-classic this evening in Paisley.

    Exactly what the game needed - an early equaliser in this second half from St Mirren.

    They've more than matched the league leaders in these opening 50 minutes. More goals in this one? I'd say so.

  12. 'Alebiosu at his best'

    St Mirren 2-2 Celtic

    Stephen McGinn
    Former Dundee midfielder on BBC Sportsound

    That goal is all about Alebiosu. We wondered how he'd react at half-time but that's him at his best.

    Phillips will hit balls a lot cleaner than he has there but what a start for St Mirren.

    GOAL St Mirren 2-2 Celtic

    Killian Phillips

    WOW! Phenomenal from Phillips.

    A few folk might say he didn't mean it, and while they're probably right, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt here.

    He arrives onto the ball inside the box and digs it out of the deck, into the roof of the net.

  18. McInnes 'sees signs' that Kilmarnock will 'be alright'

    FT: Ross County 1-0 Kilmarnock

    Kilmarnock boss Derek McInnes told BBC Scotland: "We were decent at times on a terrible surface. I felt for all the players out there.

    "We had to just play for territory and make sure we didn't make mistakes. We spoke about the game, about the pitch and conditions where mistakes could win it. One of the only times they were in our box in the first half, we've not dealt with the situation.

    "We've got to do it the hard way, try and come from behind. The effort of the players was magnificent. We were the dominant team. You don't see a lot of teams doing that up here. We gave it a go, unfortunate not to get anything from the game.

    "It's been a tough week. We were close to Aberdeen, close today, close against Rangers. But it's the stage of the season where you'd rather win a game and not deserve to win.

    "It's a major disappointment but I've been in dressing rooms a long time, I can see the commitment and motivation of the players to do better. We'll get better as we go along, we'll get one or two back.

    "I see signs that we'll be alright."

  19. 'The best three points' of the season - Cowie

    FT: Ross County 1-0 Kilmarnock

    Ross County manager Don Cowie told BBC Scotland: "Very hard fought. A really important three points, and another three points toward where we want to get to - 35 points. That was our total last season. We've now got nine games to really add to that.

    "It was a tough game, we had to defend a lot. They put us under a lot of pressure, a lot of entries into our box. It's definitely not the best we've played this season, but it's the best three points we've had this season.

    "They had a few openings which on another day they take. Derek [McInnes] will be disappointed they didn't take one of the chances. I've got to focus on my own group. I see a team that's putting their body on the line.

    "That's three wins in the last four games at an important stage of the season. I couldn't ask for any more in terms of the effort they're putting in."

  20. 'We all feel the nerves' - Valakari

    FT: Dundee 1-1 St Johnstone

    St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari told BBC Scotland: "One of our issues has been in these games, when we cannot win, we have lost it.

    "Today we could not win, but we were able to the get draw, I am very pleased with that.

    "I'm very happy with how we defended these moments at the end. Overall, an okay away performance.

    "I feel it (the nerves), the fans feel it, the players feel it. The opponents made it difficult for us.

    "Our players felt it physically and mentally but they enjoyed the moment.

    "It's a tough league, we have been so deep, now we need to stay there and make this final push for everything to be good."
