McGregor blasts Celtic to victory
Digest more
Celtic captain Callum McGregor scored a 95th-minute screamer to snatch a 1-0 victory against St Mirren to keep the pressure on Premiership leaders Hearts.
Let’s make things clear, Celtic were woeful. We looked disjoined and devoid of ideas, and although we upped the tempo in the second period, we could have no complaints if it finished honours even. Matin O’Neill said afterwards that St Mirren were worthy of a point and he was spot on in that assessment.
The Celtic captain was the man of the moment in Paisley as his rocket of a goal secured a win in what was one of the worst games of football this season. And Celtic’s Unique Angle captured what McGregor was telling the Celtic fans immediately after the full-time whistle blew.
Celtic left it very, very late to snatch victory in Paisley but interim boss Martin O'Neill continued his 100% league record thanks to a stoppage-time screamer from captain Callum McGregor.
