Celtic Edge Out St Mirren to Maintain Pressure on Leaders Hearts

Celtic secured a narrow 1-0 victory over St Mirren to remain within three points of Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts. Martin O'Neill's side took the lead in the 15th minute through Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's low strike, following an earlier effort ruled out for offside. Despite a dominant start, Celtic failed to extend their lead, with substitute Kelechi Iheanacho missing a gilt-edged chance in the second half. The win marked a reversal of fortunes from the teams' last meeting in December, when St Mirren stunned Celtic with a 3-1 win to lift the Premier Sports Cup. The Green Brigade, back in Celtic Park for the first time since November, witnessed a gritty performance from their team, who will look to build on this result ahead of next week's Scottish Cup semi-final.
