Coverage of the Scottish Premiership match at The SMISA Stadium, as the teams meet for the second time this season. A deflected effort in the 87th-minute from Luke McCowan was enough to see the Bhoys secure all three points in a 1-0 win over the Buddies on the opening weekend of the season, but a far from convincing performance was a portent of things to come in the first few months of this campaign

00:00Considerably so after an awful first-half showing.
00:06Luther Cowan coming on for his 200th league match in Scottish football.
00:13And yes, he did decide that encounter on the opening weekend
00:18with a deflected winner in the 87th minute.
00:22Celtic fans will be hoping their team can only get better tonight.
00:34Because they were way below standard in that first-half game.
00:38Yeah, they were. I think there had to be a change for a little injection of energy,
00:44way below the standards. And look at McCown coming on and playing that right-hand side,
00:48he's played in the wide areas before.
00:49McCown actually started this move by winning it.
00:53On it now, and Dyson Maida is halted in his quest for a goal,
01:01but the flag had gone up anyway.
01:03I'll tell you what, it's an incredible save from Schmalt-George.
01:06Look, McCown coming on, having an impact straight away.
01:09Just find his shot blocked, you see Maida there, he's in an offside position.
01:12When it comes to him, George doesn't know about it.
01:16I thought it was a save, it's actually a block from Marcus Fraser.
01:20Too many players in my view here.
01:23But it's a better start from Celtic.
01:26You know, they look like they're actually going to threaten early in the half.
01:29He started that move, McCown, and was involved in the end of it.
01:37Energy already.
01:40Tate now.
01:41Dyson Maida is looking like he's going to latch on to that, but Gogic moved in and muscled it.
01:48Yeah, he did, he does really well, Gogic, because the temptation there is to give a little tug or a little nudge.
01:56Maida's claiming for it, but I don't think there's anything in that.
02:01Good defending in the end.
02:03But look at the difference from Celtic already.
02:05I mean, they've had that shot at goal, good block from Marcus Fraser.
02:09He's got that ball in behind from Maida.
02:11Okay, he doesn't get on the end of it.
02:14It's so much better.
02:20Scales.
02:21Attate to Nefty now.
02:28Celtic look much more full of intent and purpose than they have a corner.
02:34Yeah, I mean, that's such a defense.
02:43Angles will come across to take this.
02:49Celtic with a different look about them now.
02:51Mind you, that just had to be the case after that first half.
02:58This is Celtic's first corner in the game.
03:11Visiting by Angles, but comfortably cleared by McMenamin.
03:17Bacchus.
03:21Raston covering it.
03:26Really slack from Tonecti when the ball comes out to him.
03:29Takes his eye off the ball, allows him to go and win it back.
03:31I think there is a different look to the second half because...
03:34It looks as if he's far more comfortable playing in the central area, a little nudge in Gogic as he got up to head the ball.
03:38It's the minimum one in the back there and not really having any options.
03:44It's the difference that we see here, we've got a restart.
03:49It's going to be going forward, you look at the bodies they have on that Celtic back line again.
03:53It's launched by Smell George towards Macal Mandron as usual.
04:02He's now tripped Ingles, he's certainly felt bad.
04:11Tate now for Tini.
04:21That's Miss Michael, getting back on his line quick.
04:28Yeah, I mean, but, I mean,
04:55Kastros Michael just drove into the middle of the midfield there to play a forward pass.
05:00OK, it's not a great one, but...
05:07Richardson was unsure where the ball had gone.
05:12Kieran Tierney has it.
05:14Sontic have scored 16 goals on their last four Premiership visits to Paisley, but...
05:27No sign of one yet.
05:29That's a brilliant pass from Tate, but I'm sort of spot on there, but Gorgic reads it well.
05:47Time's a tackle perfectly.
05:491-2-1-1-1-1.
05:59Tierney.
06:05Tate.
06:16Rolston.
06:17Rolston, McCowan, Brighton busy already but Kogic in the way of the pass to Neida.
06:43Trapped by Rolston, didn't have enough on it to reach Lundeloup.
06:50Yeah and the game could become really stretched for St Mirren because they haven't to do so much work defensively now.
06:55When they win it back they're in a rush to get it forward and it comes up to Lundeloup, Mandren,
07:01players are trying to get up in support and then if the ball breaks down then they have to get themselves all the way back.
07:09Atate, Kieran Tierney, well you might as well, took a hefty deflection off Fraser.
07:18And Tenechti, who is to keep it in.
07:27Tierney.
07:29Lundeloup, swift.
07:41Move up the other end from St Mirren, into the path of Jayden Richardson and it's blocked by Tierney and turned away by Hatate.
07:52That's a really good first touch, it takes Richardson, it's a great break from St Mirren.
07:58Lundeloup does really well in the left hand side, allowing support to get in there.
08:04The biggest surprise for me is, given his unbelievable finish on Tuesday night, it's taken Kieran Tierney 50 minutes to have a shot tonight.
08:11I mean, you can see the difference in Celtic, the more intent to go forward, you see it there with the stats, the passes in the final third.
08:26McManaman, who shaved a post in the first half.
08:31Mandron, taken off his toes by Tierney.
08:37Kieran McGregor gave that away.
08:47McManaman.
08:50Bacchus.
08:53Kieran Tierney having to dig that out.
08:58Beckleton for Phillips.
09:01Always looking for Declan John, but Luka Kieran saw that coming.
09:05Yeah, he's unlocked it.
09:19You can see Engel's shouting for Tomekty to get higher up the pitch.
09:25Engel's up to Mider, Gorgic stretching.
09:30Mider.
09:31Hung in there, now having to contend with Freckleton.
09:36Engel's.
09:41Tomekty.
09:43Tomekty.
09:44Big improvement from Celtic this as Tomekty gets the crossing.
09:50Yeah, it's better from Tomekty because he's been so intent and cutting back on his right foot.
10:04He was down the left-hand side on that occasion, but just going back to Engel's screaming at him to get higher up the pitch.
10:09He always wants to come to feet, he always wants to get on the ball when he drops and then he's got a bit of running to do to get forward.
10:16I just wonder if he could mix up and make runs off the ball.
10:19Take him short, spinning behind.
10:21Even run inside and get closer to Dyson Maida.
10:25Samar George sends it up towards Mandarom, but I think there's one by Trusty.
10:41There's Mandarom again though.
10:43Very good work from Mikel Mandarom.
10:49Dundaloo chasing this.
10:51Got their head of scales as well.
10:54The men then just couldn't adjust in time.
11:13Gogic.
11:15Gogic.
11:19Going a dangerous game.
11:21Hatate.
11:23McGregor.
11:27Callum McGregor is taken out.
11:37Just a free kick, no more.
11:39I don't think Steven Robertson will be like,
11:41I don't want Alex Goggic to drive through and try and run the length of the pitch with the ball.
11:47And because when he does, it's such a gap that he leaves.
11:50So commanding and that back line reads the game really well.
11:53He always seems to be in the right position.
11:59Sadik have only scored once from set-piece this season.
12:04And as you can see,
12:06Aberdeen haven't got any.
12:09The Celtic change that here as Engels floats it in.
12:17Lundaloo high into the sky.
12:22And for Engels and out for Gogic.
12:25Yeah.
12:26Poor ball in for me.
12:28Poor touch there.
12:29Poor decision from Arna Engels.
12:30So Viren were third in the table late September.
12:37But less than a couple of months later, they're now sitting in ninth.
12:42Just one point from the last 15 on offer.
12:45But you suspect they will soon sort themselves out.
12:50Martin O'Neill still in charge of Celtic.
12:54Looking for Lundaloo.
12:55Really?
12:56Yeah, of course.
12:57Great idea.
12:59Got it back well.
13:00It's quick into Mandarin.
13:01Looking for his strike partner Lundaloo.
13:02Just can't.
13:03He just over hits the pass.
13:04It comes from Celtic having possession.
13:05Forcing that ball forward.
13:06Into any of it.
13:07Yeah.
13:08Yeah.
13:09I'm looking for Lundaloo.
13:10Really?
13:11Yeah, of course.
13:12Great idea.
13:13Got it back well.
13:14It's quick into Mandarin.
13:15Looking for his strike partner Lundaloo.
13:16Just can't.
13:17He just over hits the pass.
13:18It comes from Celtic having possession.
13:31Forcing that ball forward into an area where there's no one there really.
13:48Midor back to McGregor.
14:12Midor comes to meet him.
14:14Tate.
14:17Here's Tonecti.
14:18Tierney ahead.
14:21Tierney behind.
14:24Now ahead again.
14:26Tonecti looking to set up McGregor.
14:34Tate.
14:39Midor.
14:42Nugged away by Gogic.
14:44Carl Mangron taking everyone on.
14:51On the Kermenman.
14:58.
15:11Yeah, I spoke about.
15:12The crosses for both in the first half at Mirren are clearly in the league.
15:16You can see they haven't really been able to get into their rhythm and their attack at home.
15:21I've seen Celtic come out looking better, although I have to say it would have been hard for them to look worse than what they did in the first half.
15:31Celtic really had four crosses in the first half already on that number here.
15:37As we reach the hour mark and it remains goalless in Paisley.
15:42It's not that Celtic's games have been crossing the ball, but the fact they have so few, they have had territory, they have had Tenecte on the ball.
15:51Not really created, definitely not created anywhere near enough from the positions they've had.
16:10McCowan looking for Maida, but that will carry to Samal George.
16:15Back in Scottish football, having played for Livingston previously.
16:23Yeah, he's been another terrific signing for Stephen Orbiton in St Mirren.
16:31Freckleton, McMenamin.
16:34This is Leet coming in sightseeing from St Mirren with Miniman's cross.
16:45Taken by Schmeichel before Richardson could get there and Richardson racing to get back in position now.
16:52Gillian Phillips across to cover Tenecte, but he's seen both of them off.
16:58Do not! Do not!
17:00McCowan.
17:12Tierney.
17:13Tunepti.
17:19Tunepti floats it in.
17:20Gogich clears.
17:22Picked up here by McCowan.
17:25Atate.
17:26McCowan.
17:28St Mirrenclair.
17:34Better from Celtic, just maybe trying to overplay it in that area there.
17:40I think before that leads up to that chance when Tenecte drives here at the halfway line,
17:44he's got an option to pass it in the Hatate and play it forward.
17:48I think he has to do one or the other, he can't be playing that across the field.
17:50And waiting here is Callum McGregor, blocked by him.
18:00Phillips.
18:02Flying for a handball, hasn't it, with St Mirren on McGregor moments ago.
18:07Apologies again if you've picked up any swearing on our microphones.
18:12Here's Callum McGregor.
18:13It didn't take long.
18:33Richardson is striding away, looking for Lundaloo.
18:39It's not getting that far.
18:41Jonah Iyunga is waiting in the wings to come on for St Mirren, and he will replace Dan Lundaloo.
19:02It's a nice take.
19:07Declan jump.
19:12Packers steadies himself, but routine versus Michael.
19:15Yeah, comfortable one, it looked good.
19:24Report, so he has to turn out and wait for reinforcements.
19:32Jonah Iyunga, who has scored a couple of goals against Celtic, who will soon be with us.
19:43And Celtic are actually going to make a change, which will be the arrival of the man who swung
19:50this fixture in their favour last season in a 5-2 win here.
19:55Yang will be coming on for Sebastian Tonecti.
19:59Tierney, here is Tonecti.
20:09Some frantic defending from St Mirren.
20:12Kieran Tierney with a switch over.
20:16Declan John onto it.
20:17And it's a big appeal for a handball that does strike his arm, but absolutely no chance of a penalty there.
20:23And it's a big appeal for a handball that does strike his arm, but absolutely no chance of a penalty there.
20:27His arms be side, that's his elbow, which is fricking his body.
20:37Miguel Freckleton being attended to now, and St Mirren will wait to see what that's about, as they prepare to make that change.
20:51St Mirren will wait to see what that's about, as they prepare to make that change.
21:05St Mirren has proved to be a handful for Celtic and others.
21:15Suffered a really bad ACL injury just when he was in his early prime in Scotland.
21:22But he gave St Mirren the lead at Celtic Park last season and scored in a 2-0 win over Angers Celtic in 2022.
21:31St Mirren the lead at Celtic Park last season.
22:01St Mirren has not been involved much greatly.
22:05This is his third appearance in the last 11 games.
22:10Wundaloo is replaced by Jonah Iunger.
22:15As St Mirren keep their physical strike force.
22:21Yeah, one handful for another.
22:24As you mentioned, Iunger.
22:25It looks like Freckleton, the little jog up, the side of the pitch, he's still stretching it.
22:37Maybe it may well be a little bit of cramp, but he grabs it like that and wants the attention.
22:42Surprised to see him come back on.
22:43Iunger who swung the game Celtic's way here in that 5-2 match.
22:54There is a ladder alert as ever.
22:57I'm looking at Freckleton, he's still stretching away at the hamstring there.
23:06I just wonder if it is a little bit of cramping.
23:08Hopefully, for his sake it is, because I'll tell you now, you're not running off a hamstring injury.
23:15I'm looking at Freckleton, he's still stretching it.
23:45Shamal George ready to take this.
24:01It's been a way through!
24:06The flag is up and it's not going to count as yet.
24:13Well, let's see, it's just the fact they keep it alive.
24:19Yeah, I mean, if it's McMenamin that puts it into the back of the net.
24:25He's enough to potentially impact Scales who I think puts it in the back of the net.
24:32I think then becomes active.
24:38Mmm.
25:08Yeah.
25:09Yeah.
25:10Yeah.
25:11Yeah.
25:12Yeah.
25:13Yeah.
25:14Yeah.
25:15Yeah.
25:16Yeah.
25:17Yeah.
25:18Yeah.
25:19Yeah.
25:20Yeah.
25:21Yeah.
25:22Yeah.
25:23Yeah.
25:24Yeah.
25:25Yeah.
25:26Yeah.
25:27Yeah.
25:28Yeah.
25:29Yeah.
25:30Yeah.
25:31Yeah.
25:32Yeah.
25:33Yeah.
25:34Yeah.
25:38the odd decision
25:45Scotland's hero, one of many
25:51Kieran Tierney being replaced then
25:54Jane Murray will come on
26:03Anthony Ralston also going off
26:06Benjamin Negrin coming on
26:10Jane Murray making his 10th
26:12appearance for Celtic but they've
26:14been spread across four years
26:25so the wait for a goal goes on on a
26:27Saturday night in Paisley
26:36here is Skels
26:44now Jan
26:46Jan, Atate runs on to this
26:54and Jan
27:02Celtic throws
27:04flew off somebody
27:06McCowan
27:08screened by Freckleton
27:12here's Jan
27:20might go for the shot here
27:22but
27:24Phillips stopped it however
27:26a Celtic corner in front of their fans
27:28yeah I mean it's been good from
27:30Jan
27:30little pass to Atate
27:32and then the shot which is blocked
27:34causing problems off that left hand side
27:36sounds like hoping the moment will come for them
27:46sounds like hoping the moment will come for them
27:54Anna Ingles goes long and it's
27:56Mandrom who made a connection that will lead to another corner
28:00on the other side
28:02on the other side
28:04Ingles will come across to take it
28:06and
28:20Scales looking to put the ball in the net at this end now
28:22Ingles
28:24increasing the corner in
28:26Atate is going to have a go
28:28and that would have been
28:30truly spectacular
28:32yeah I would have been
28:34bouncing
28:35coming at speed
28:36I mean he's got great technique
28:38at Atate but
28:39it would have to be something special
28:41from there
28:46Rodriguez
28:47back with a bang in England as well
28:49Super Sunday leads against Villa from one o'clock
28:52and then it is the North London Derby
28:56part of Super Sunday
28:58and there's Monday Night Football as well this week
29:00from Old Trafford
29:01Manchester United
29:03against David Moyes Everton
29:21Negrin
29:22will it open up here
29:23Maida
29:24Kevin Clancy
29:26gives a free kick
29:28on the edge of the area
29:30Maida runs across Gorgic and almost trips him up behind him which then makes it clumsy for Gorgic and he brings Maida down
29:37here's
29:46Maida come on for Alex Gorgic
29:47that almost trips him up behind him which then makes it clumsy for Gorgic, he brings Maida down
30:02So, it's a conferring.
30:22We're going to go out talking to Ingles.
30:24Will this be a pivotal moment in this match?
30:34No, it's going to be a big wall, he's going to have to get it, bumping over.
30:40You can see Jamal George there telling his wall to jump.
30:43It's going to be taking an age to get this cricket taken.
30:55Samira Ball is going to have to go back a bit.
31:03In the Ingles.
31:13Scored a tennery here last season in that 5-2 win against Kilmoyne in his last game.
31:21A little bit further out this time, although not that much.
31:26So, yeah, we'll have the old drafted Scrooge.
31:34Yeah, Celtic are trying to set their own wall up as well to get in the line-up.
31:39Jamal George for Ingles to just fire it through the gap.
31:49Anna Ingles, and the large wall does its job.
31:56Young from the players.
31:59Wasn't really worth the wait, was it?
32:01No.
32:14Celtic haven't had a shot on target in this match yet.
32:18The last time they went through a whole game with that happening was over five years ago against the Rangers.
32:26That's an incredible start.
32:29It's an incredible start.
32:31Gatate.
32:32Scales.
32:33Scales.
32:34Scales.
32:35Cross.
32:37Oh, that was...
32:38Scales Cross.
32:39That was...
32:40...cash.
32:41That was...
32:43...cash.
32:44Scales.
32:45Scales Cross.
32:46That was...
32:47Scales, Scales cross, that was a scare for St Mirren.
32:57Yeah it was, what a cross it is from Liam Scales.
33:00As Amida darting across that near post area and glances it.
33:08Just creeping wide and McEwen can't get on the end of it.
33:13A little collision there between Cowan and Jamal George.
33:20That was a brilliant cross for Liam Scales.
33:29Great run as well from Maida, scored a similar goal against Kilmarnock, I'm sure.
33:43Jay Murray won that.
33:56Fraser.
34:01Richardson.
34:02The verdict to the dispatcher of a few around us.
34:13Apologies again if you're offended by any swearing.
34:19Just got one in before the game.
34:22I'll just keep saying it for 90 minutes.
34:24The Cowan.
34:31Engles.
34:33It's Negrim.
34:34It's blocked by Phillips.
34:40Stays down which is on right here.
34:54A double change coming for St Mirren.
34:55A double change coming for St Mirren.
34:56A double change coming for St Mirren.
34:58A double change coming for St Mirren.
35:06Colin McMenamin is going off for Benren.
35:09There's a player.
35:11He must come on.
35:12Started the opening championship game of the season at Celtic Park.
35:24It was hooked at half time.
35:28Jayden Richardson I think is also making way here.
35:30And Richard Keeling will replace him.
35:31The only St Mirren player who was on international GTE this week.
35:44Celtic had 12 players away.
35:57Still nil, nil.
36:00The Celtic have another corner.
36:06Going off Declan John.
36:10The pursuit for an opening goal in this game.
36:16Goes on but with it hot up here.
36:25It's on the ringles.
36:27The high one again.
36:28The high one again.
36:29The Samal George walked back up.
36:31The day Murray tried to get near it.
36:39Nearly, nearly done him.
36:41Maida just hiding behind Samal George.
36:43A little glance over his right shoulder.
36:45He's watching him.
36:46He's watching him.
36:47Stumble from Engels.
36:48He's enjoying the racing forward.
36:49And he gets it back here.
36:50Circle.
36:51With a crucial save.
36:52Crucial save.
36:53Not, didn't look too comfortable.
36:54And I think that.
36:55Junge is screaming for it at the back pose.
36:56Yeah, he's skipped past a few, but then gave it away.
36:57And he's looking for it at the back pose.
36:58And he's looking for it at the back pose.
36:59Yeah, he's skipped past a few, but then gave it away.
37:00He's a tailor.
37:01And he's looking for it at the back pose.
37:02And he's looking for it at the back pose.
37:03Kiezeranjadai is on the back pose.
37:06LPSH із ménelyvigycum, couple of the few shots in Beauchamp.
37:07Cização he's on the back left eye.
37:08It's on to settle.
37:09He's an angel.
37:10And I look for it at the back we've got Sidon Jolio.
37:11And then everything.
37:12In the back, I'm looking for it at the back pose.
37:13Sonalson.
37:14I'm looking for it.
37:15Peter and John racing forward.
37:16And he gets it back here.
37:17It's like aЯluh.
37:18With a crucial save.
37:19To face it.
37:20The crucial save...
37:21Kubrick over there.
37:22It's a't.
37:23Crucial save...
37:24Didn't look too comfortable.
37:25And I think that.
37:26I think Jünge is screaming for it at the back pose.
37:27Backus, that comes on, it's on to it again, St Mourinho having some moments now.
37:39Backus wanted it, pulled back, and ball claim against McGregor.
37:44Oh, and Richard King, way off target with that one.
37:48Yeah, not a great effort from King, but it's a good bit of pressure.
37:53Little moment, moments for St Mourinho,
37:55and Engels slipping, giving the ball away, just keep an eye on it, Iyunga, here.
38:02I mean, it's not impossible to score from there, but if he squares it, Iyunga's got a tap in.
38:19Engels.
38:23McCowan.
38:25Gokic sends that on its way, helped on by Mandrol.
38:40With a couple of assists, played for left wing back for Ireland.
38:45In the international matches, the shot taker about to bring on Colby Donovan for the closing stages.
38:55And he will replace Arnott Engels.
38:58Yeah, Engels has been on right back since Raulsen went off.
39:01Which is quite surprising.
39:07Donovan, clearly, more shitty to play in as a right back.
39:13The first lead on the first lead, you fucking dick!
39:19Apologies once more on the swearing front.
39:21How many did you have in the sweep, Cox?
39:24I think I'm about to be breaking the world record time.
39:30I think we'll start a few more to go as well.
39:32Marcus Fraser underneath her.
39:38Niebren.
39:39Atate.
39:41Sliding it through here for Maida.
39:43And Gokic.
39:44No, I'm not needed.
39:47Fickleton across as well.
39:48And he's hurt in the process.
39:53I don't know if he's intervened anyway.
39:56Yeah, I mean, Maida's so concerned with getting across the face.
40:00Yeah, it's Gokic.
40:01He forgets the ball.
40:03And then he's going to try and put it in the back of the net.
40:08Takes out Fickleton.
40:11Huts himself in the process.
40:12I don't know if Maida needs to feel that he has to get that contact
40:22to make sure he gets across the front of Gokic.
40:24I think he's got, clearly he's got the speed to just run on to it.
40:31Celtic have already been involved in four goalless draws this season.
40:36Are they heading for number five or will there be?
40:40Great drama.
40:42It's going to be a free kick to Ironic Apollos.
40:58Skills on Iyunga, I mean, Iyunga's got his arm round him.
41:04It's just a, I would say probably a normal, a normal tussle.
41:09I'm used to seeing two players that actually enjoy the physical battle.
41:13Iyunga's got his goal.
41:18Taylor likes a set piece.
41:22The arms are raised.
41:23The signal is there.
41:24Pinged in by Taylor.
41:26Towards Phillips.
41:27and Wyatt in the end
41:36Tate
41:46Solskjaer also failed to score
41:51six times in matches this season
41:54Colby Donovan
41:55with a surge
41:56as they tried to avoid a seventh
41:59at least he's livened up the second half of them a bit
42:07yeah he has but when he cuts inside there
42:10I mean if you're going to reverse it you have to get it right
42:12Cal McGregor's an option on the edge of the box
42:14he's also got the option of having a shot
42:16or crossing it into the area
42:18I think the space was there for him
42:21he'd worked that yard half a yard
42:22Stephen Robertson
42:29Ryan Kerr
42:30came so close to beating Celtic
42:36at Celtic Park on the final day of last season
42:40until James Forrest spectacularly intervened
42:43and came close
42:44to getting a draw
42:46in the season opener
42:47this time around
42:49he's a Taylor's cross is cleared
42:53they're not going to fall to Celtic in the same way are they
42:56although they seem intent on
42:58finding their own ways of
43:00threatening a goal
43:02the only indication is that there will be
43:21four extra minutes
43:23in this match
43:25Reckleton
43:28needs to get to this first for Celtic
43:32with Declan John advancing down that left side
43:35Fraser Taylor takes it off Atate
43:38who didn't take it very well
43:40frustration
43:45yeah I mean it's brilliant from young Fraser Taylor
43:48and it is your frustration from Atate
43:51told you
44:01sorry
44:0590 minutes almost up
44:09and a free kick
44:11four minutes is confirmed
44:17Gaspers Michael had it taken away from him
44:20and there by Dane Murray
44:22and that
44:23it's
44:24done that better than it might
44:25as Gillian Phillips
44:27gets the fans going here
44:29not that some of them
44:30needed to get going much tonight
44:32yeah well
44:34it just energises
44:35at the minute to finish the game
44:37and go and hunt that winner
44:38Severin might make a change
44:47in stoppage time
44:48William Donnelly
44:48being prepared to come on
44:50for Keanu Bacchus
44:55he's waiting anyway
44:57to get the chance
44:58because
44:58we're well into the first minute
45:00of the extra four
45:01Murray
45:11Siverin digging in
45:19Siverin digging in
45:19Akis advancing really well
45:24Manderon
45:25on the smush side
45:26the flag was up
45:27but Smeichel
45:28wasn't waiting to see it
45:30yeah I mean
45:30you can see he's clearly offside
45:32as it comes to him
45:33but
45:33you know
45:34Celtic
45:34Celtic just knocking the ball about
45:36at the back
45:37as if
45:37they're winning the game
45:38with no urgency
45:39to go and try and win it
45:40fighting that pressure from Siverin
45:43it's been like that quite a lot
45:48from Celtic this season
45:49they used to be so quick
45:50and slick
45:52but often slow
45:53yeah it is
45:55so often this season
45:57you play to wait for that perfect opportunity
46:02but
46:03you can also play with that
46:05intensity
46:06that pressure
46:06that forces
46:07submitting to retreat
46:09your opposition to retreat
46:10force mistakes
46:11create opportunities
46:12change will happen
46:16right now
46:18he'll die
46:19as she scored
46:21three goals against
46:22Celtic in his time
46:24in Scotland
46:25don't think they'll be looking
46:27for one from home though
46:28it's more about
46:29shoring things up
46:32Manu Bakas
46:33well received
46:34in his second stint
46:36at Siverin
46:37and this will have been
46:39on to the four minutes
46:39yeah he's
46:40good performance
46:41from Bakas tonight
46:42loads of energy
46:43in that midfield
46:44to be the one at times
46:47holding the fort
46:47because of Miren
46:48pushing bodies forward
46:50particularly in that first half
46:51he's run himself
46:53into the ground
46:54Keanu Bakas
46:55Celtic looking for a late goal
46:59against St Mirren
46:59for the third meeting running
47:01or will it go the other way
47:04Tate smacking that
47:06against Mandron
47:06now
47:09Mandron
47:11gives away a free kick
47:12foul on Negrin
47:14and Celtic
47:15hoping to score
47:18a winner here
47:19in Paisley
47:20late goals
47:22against St Mirren
47:22has been their speciality
47:24yeah well
47:25it's never never for them
47:26it's Negrin to send this in
47:33but Shemar George
47:34will
47:34thank you very much
47:37you know you don't get
47:40tight in all about
47:41you're the goalkeeper
47:42these days
47:43they've been better in the second half
47:52but then they've had no choice
47:53after an absolute shocker
47:55of a first half
47:56yeah I mean
47:57they started better
47:58slipped back into the
48:00bad habits they showed
48:02in the first half
48:02Cowan now for
48:08trusty
48:09still time
48:11but not that much of it
48:13Yeo
48:14drilled that across
48:17cleared by Declan John
48:19Donovan now for McGregor
48:21gets his shot
48:23there's a match
48:26as typical
48:27of the Celtic captain
48:28Callum McGregor
48:31scores
48:32with seconds
48:33remaining
48:34and Celtic
48:37have another
48:38late
48:39late
48:39late
48:40goal
48:40against St Mirren
48:41who probably
48:42deserved better
48:43than this
48:44but McGregor
48:45had other ideas
48:47and he's won the game
48:50for Martin O'Neill
48:51well
48:52what a way
48:54to win the game
48:55in a week of
48:56unbelievably spectacular
48:58goals in Scottish football
49:00Callum McGregor
49:01pops up with this
49:02brilliant first touch
49:04looks like the chance
49:05is potentially gone
49:06Shamal George
49:08diving his left hand side
49:10he's got no chance
49:12of saving it
49:13it's a rocket
49:13from Callum McGregor
49:15and no surprise
49:17that he's the man
49:18that pops up
49:19with the spectacular
49:19that is an unbelievable
49:22strike from Callum McGregor
49:24it's breathtaking
49:27past the despairing
49:29palms
49:30of Shamal George
49:32not for the first time
49:34Callum McGregor scores
49:36a vital goal
49:37and not for the first time
49:39he scores an absolutely
49:40spectacular goal
49:42yeah I mean
49:42it had to be
49:44something like that
49:45for Celtic tonight
49:46it had to be
49:47a bit of spectacular
49:48because they just
49:49haven't created enough
49:50they've not shown
49:51enough energy
49:53enough control
49:54in the performance
49:55really
49:55and the captain
49:56and the captain
49:57steps up to the plate
49:58Samirin
50:01have a feeling
50:04of déjà vu
50:05a late winner
50:07for Celtic
50:08against them
50:09on the opening day
50:10of this season
50:10a late equaliser
50:11James Forrest
50:13last season
50:14and now this
50:16from Callum McGregor
50:17they've put so much
50:19into this
50:19but this man
50:21had the last word
50:23Martin O'Neill
50:25will be full of praise
50:26I'm sure
50:26for Stephen Romerson
50:27and Samirin's performance
50:29this evening
50:29and Celtic
50:31after an awful
50:32first half
50:33had more purpose
50:35about them
50:35in the second
50:36but it looked like
50:37it wasn't going to happen
50:39until McGregor
50:40produced
50:42something out of nothing
50:44a moment of magic
50:45a goal
50:46to take your breath away
50:48Ansem
50:48yeah absolutely
50:50I mean
50:50not a great Celtic performance
50:52by any stretch
50:53St Mirren
50:54with Dogget
50:55they had a game plan
50:56they probably
50:57could have got themselves
50:59in front
50:59and they played really well
