"Celtic captain Callum McGregor scored a 95th-minute winner as Martin O'Neill's side battled to a 1-0 win over St. Mirren in the Scottish Premiership. The Bhoys looked likely to lose further ground on leaders Hearts as they failed to muster a shot on target until second-half stoppage time, but McGregor's thunderous strike broke St. Mirren's hearts at the death. St. Mirren made Celtic uncomfortable from the off, with Conor McMenamin prodding just wide in the early stages"
"The first shot on target from either team did not arrive until the 64th minute, when Keanu Baccus curled straight into Kasper Schmeichel's gloves, though the ball was in the Celtic net five minutes later. Liam Scales prodded a bouncing ball past his own goalkeeper, but the goal was disallowed due to McMenamin interfering with play from an offside position, with the decision being confirmed following a VAR review."
Callum McGregor delivered a dramatic 95th-minute left-footed thunderbolt to secure a 1-0 victory for Celtic over St. Mirren. Celtic failed to register a shot on target until deep into stoppage time, while St. Mirren troubled the champions throughout with early chances from Conor McMenamin. A contentious sequence saw Liam Scales' effort disallowed after McMenamin was judged offside following a VAR review. Kasper Schmeichel produced key saves late on, but McGregor's long-range strike ultimately decided the match. The win moved Celtic within four points of Hearts and extended Martin O'Neill's unbeaten, five-game winning run against St. Mirren without conceding.
