Jonah Ayunga
Celtic can't clear their lines from a long throw-in and that allows Curtis Main to nod the ball across the six yard box for his strike partner Jonah Ayunga to nod in.
The home fans are going bananas!

There's more urgency about Celtic but they are not finding any significant gaps in the home defence as a cross from Kyogo trundles through to goalkeeper Trevor Carson.

St Mirren gaffer Stephen Robinson enjoyed that goal from Mark O'Hara but he'll know Celtic will be fired up in the quest for an equaliser.

Former St Mirren striker on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageSt Mirren will be expecting a reaction from Celtic. It's vital they maintain this work-rate and just continue doing what they've done in the first half. They have something to hold on to

HT: St Mirren 1-0 Celtic
It's just the second time Celtic have conceded a goal in the league this season.
Mark O'Hara's header came from a nice Ryan Strain cross, while Celtic's final ball has been lacking.
The champions' unbeaten run of 37 games in the Premiership is under threat.

HALF-TIME St Mirren 1-0 Celticpublished at 45 mins
St Mirren take a surprise lead into the interval, thanks to that header from skipper Mark O'Hara.
It's been the only effort on target so far.
Celtic have been rather sluggish, although the home side deserve credit for stifling the champions.

Mark O'Hara
Well, well... St Mirren have had under 20% possession but they move in front with the game's first effort on target.
Ryan Strain pops over a good cross from the right and the home side have two v one at the back post as Mark O'Hara thumps in a header from close range.

Scotland boss Steve Clarke, a former St Mirren full-back, is looking on.
He'll be impressed by the way Declan Gallagher is playing. Could the big Buddies defender force his way back into the national squad?

Kyogo meets a low cross from Liel Abada near the front post but the presence of strapping St Mirren defender Declan Gallagher blocks the striker's path to goal.

Another David Turnbull free-kick. This time it requires two St Mirren players to nod it away for a corner, which comes to nothing - floating gently into the arms of goalkeeper Trevor Carson.
