    There are lots of chances you could put down to bad Celtic misses or really good goalkeeping - I would put it down to Zach Hemming's goalkeeping.

    The clock has hit minute 80.

    Celtic will be going into the winter break eight points clear.

    Liam Scales is next to come close for Celtic, heading off the right-hand post.

    Zach Hemming again, top stuff.

    Oh's header forces the keeper down at this near post before he gets back up to deny Yang.

    St Mirren 0-3 Celtic

    Zach Hemming gets in the way of another close-range effort to deny Celtic a fourth.

    The St Mirren keeper has worked tonight.

  7. Hatate returns for Celticpublished at 18:32 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January

    St Mirren 0-3 Celtic

    Big roar from the away support as Reo Hatate returns to action for the first time since October.

    He comes on with striker Oh as Kyogo and Paulo Bernardo make way.

    Kyogo got good contact on the header, he is just finding that little bit of space inside the box. The cross is excellent.

    He's missed the two best chances of the game.

  9. Taylor turns in thirdpublished at 18:30 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January

    St Mirren 0-3 Celtic

    A second goal of the season from Greg Taylor has Celtic absolutely cruising in Paisley.

    You're waiting for the net to ripple as Greg Taylor's cross finds Kyogo free as a bird in the middle.

    But he somehow heads wide.

    And St Mirren also make a double switch.

    It's a debut for Elvis Bwomono, who replaces Ryan Flynn, while Jonah Ayunga is on for Mikael Mandron.

    St Mirren 0-3 Celtic

    Double Celtic change as Liel Abada continues his comeback, replacing Daizen Maeda.

    Gustaf Lagerbielke also makes a rare league showing by coming on for Maik Nawrocki.

    Bernardo has the quality to make that penetrating pass. Nobody closed him down, albeit St Mirren are down to 10 men.

    The run, the pass, the movement, the timing...

    GOAL! St Mirren 0-3 Celticpublished at 18:21 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January

    Greg Taylor

    Lovely pass. Lovely finish.

    Paulo Bernardo clips a fine ball over the top of the home defence and Greg Taylor thunders in on the volley.

    St Mirren 0-2 Celtic

    That's a top save from Zach Hemming.

    Paulo Bernardo is patient in the box before sending a ball to the top-left corner, but the St Mirren keeper gets there.

    St Mirren 0-2 Celtic

    This is better from St Mirren.

    They've won a corner and in it comes from Greg Kiltie.

    Mikael Mandron wins it at the back post but nobody picks up the second ball.

    We're only two days in but Richard Taylor may have already attempted the worst shot of the year - and it will take a lot to beat it.

    From quite a central position, about 20 yards out, he somehow sends the ball out for a throw.

  20. St Mirren 'can create more'published at 18:16 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January

    I'd just like to see a little more composure on the ball from St Mirren when it comes back on the second phase.

    I know they are down 2-0 but they can create better opportunities than just flicking the ball into the central area.
