    Pat Bonner

    I don't think the goalkeeper had any chance to get across.

    It had everything on it that you want. from that distance out to get it up and down, a really tremendous goal.

    Stephen McGinn
    Former Dundee midfielder on BBC Sportsound

    That's unbelievable. I actually thought it was too close, on this pitch, to get up and down.

    With the help of the bar, it's a massive goal for St Mirren.

    Declan John

    Wow, wow, wow! What a free kick.

    John clips and crashes the ball over the wall and off the crossbar and in. Superb skill.

    And so deserved for St Mirren.

    We've still not had that free kick due to Ryan Alebiosu being knocked down a few seconds before.

    He's just got back to his feet, thankfully.

    Jeffrey Schlupp

    You could argue that's came against the run of play, but, what a sweet finish from Schlupp.

    The ball is worked out to the left and the full-back lets loose with a lovely left-footed finish across the box and in-off the post.

    His first for Celtic.

    Indeed, Liam Scales is on... sporting a head band.

    Auston Trusty is down receiving a bit of treatment, and it looks like there's blood coming from the Celtic defender's head.

  9. 'Ball in behind killing Celtic'published at 17:58 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March

    St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    The difference with the Aberdeen game is that Celtic weren't very good on the ball, they were giving it away.

    They've actually been good on it today, but what's killing them is the ball in behind and that's three or four really good chances St Mirren have had.

    St Mirren are having some joy exploiting this Celtic high-line.

    Kasper Schmeichel called upon again.

    Star-like, Kasper Schmeichel (just like his Dad Peter used to do for Man Utd) spreads himself wide to thwart Toyosi OIusanya.

    How many times have we seen that from the big Dane? Plenty.

  12. GREAT SAVE!published at 18 mins

    St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    What a block, Kasper Schmeichel.

    Toyosi Olusanya should have the Saints one goal up.

    He beats Auston Trusty in a foot race and only has the Celtic 'keeper to beat.

    He opts to lift it, right into the Dane's body, when really he should just pick a side.

    Big chance.

    I think the pitch, as an underdog, helps them [St Mirren] today. They're having to work really hard, Celtic have been so slick.

    I think that's why Stephen Robinson is frustrated, he has to knock them out their rhythm.

    The finish was woeful from Reo Hatate, as the ball took a big bobble before it arrived at his right boot inside the area.

    However, his manager applauded nonetheless.

    I suspect that was more for the run and delivery from Adam Idah...

    Reo Hatate finds himself in a decent spot in the box, and the ball comes to him, but, he sends it high into the sky.

    Man for man against anyone, [Toyosi] Olusanya is a real threat.

    After that mention of hemming in, it reminded me of this Zach Hemming arrival pic earlier in the day.

    I see a pack of Squashies in there, while I'm curious as to what's in the birthday bag.

    Other sweets are available...

    There's a nice energy about St Mirren right from kick-off, trying to hem Celtic deep in their own half.

    The home side fancy their chances here of a big double, having won at Ibrox last weekend...

    A bright start from the Buddies.

    They've kicked off on the front foot and are getting in Celtic faces...
