Andy Campbell

  1. St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    One last substitution for St Mirren. Matty Willock comes on for Danny Mullen.

  2. St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    Callum McGregor makes one of those typical Callum McGregor bursts into space and his low shot is held by Craig Samson.

  3. St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    If St Mirren had the better of the first half, Celtic have been the more enterprising side in the second, despite their numerical disadvantage.

  4. Crowded house

    St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    7,288 inside the Simple Digital Arena in Paisley. Will they get to see a late winner?

  5. St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    Craig Samson spills Odsonne Edouard's low cross and Callum McGregor closes in only to see the ball go wide. The Celtic man wants a corner but it is a goal kick.

  6. YELLOW CARD

    St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    Celtic captain Scott Brown obstructs Danny Mullen and is booked.

  7. St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    Cammy Smith makes way for Hayden Coulson in St Mirren's second change.

  8. St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    Steven Thompson
    Former St Mirren striker on BBC Sportsound

    I can only presume Anton Ferdinand is injured but if he's injured you are thinking from the bench it would be Alfie Jones who is a centre-half. I think Paul McGinn will now step into centre-back

  9. St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    Steven Thompson
    Former St Mirren striker on BBC Sportsound

    That was probably Celtic's best opening. It was really good work from Forrest. It was then on Griffiths' weaker foot and he mistimed the shot and it comes back off the stand

  10. St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    Cammy MacPherson comes on for St Mirren, taking over from debutant Anton Ferdinand, who gets a round of applause from the home crowd.

  11. St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    Celtic are looking for a result here. From their perspective it would be poor if they didn't get three points from this game

  12. St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    Celtic substitute Leigh Griffiths lifts the ball well over the top after latching on to James Forrest's low cross.

  13. YELLOW CARD

    St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    It's been a frustrating night so far for Celtic's Tom Rogic and he is booked after tussling with Danny Mullen.

  14. Dream debut...so far

    St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    Anton Ferdinand was only announced as a St Mirren player around an hour before kick-off, but the former West Ham man has been solid so far for the Buddies.

  15. St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    The second half has not been as open as the first. Twenty-five minutes left.

  16. St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    Steven Thompson
    Former St Mirren striker on BBC Sportsound

    Ajer finding himself free at that back post again. He finds the ball at his feet but just as he's about to hit a shot the pressure from St Mirren was unbelievable to throw bodies in front of him

  17. St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    Bit of pressure from Celtic following Leigh Griffiths' introduction. His corner causes problems in the St Mirren defence and Kristoffer Ajer's shot is blocked.

  18. Steven Thompson
    Former St Mirren striker on BBC Sportsound

    Celtic are running out of ideas and that's with two up top. They are forcing everything through the middle at the minute and that's where St Mirren are strong

  19. St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    Striker Leigh Griffiths, fresh from signing a new contract until 2022, comes on for Celtic with defender Filip Benkovic making way.

  20. St Mirren 0-0 Celtic

    Steven Thompson
    Former St Mirren striker on BBC Sportsound

    You can see the frustration from the likes of Tom Rogic. He's normally so good with the ball at his feet and making space for himself. There's then two guys on him in a heartbeat and it has been an incredibly frustrating evening for Celtic
