Celtic achieved a 1-0 victory against St Mirren, thanks to an 87th-minute goal by Luke McCowan. The match was filled with frustration for Celtic as they had a goal disallowed and multiple attempts struck the woodwork. This win marked Celtic's fifth consecutive opening day victory and the team has now won 17 of their last 18 Scottish Premiership openers. Brendan Rodgers praised the team's persistence and ability to remain patient against a well-organized St Mirren side, emphasizing their determination to play with tempo and belief throughout the game.
We're very pleased. It's always nice to win at home on Flag Day. To play as well as we did makes me really pleased for the team.
Naturally, we wanted more goals, but I think we played their system very well. The goalkeeper has maybe kept the scoreline down and, whilst we didn't score, we didn't get disappointed and played some fantastic football.
