Celtic secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over St Mirren, keeping them within three points of Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts. The decisive goal came in the 15th minute when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain fired into the bottom right corner after a blocked shot. Despite dominating possession, Celtic struggled to extend their lead, with substitute Kelechi Iheanacho missing a golden opportunity in the second half. St Mirren, on the other hand, were limited to just one shot on target, and their best chance came when Jonah Ayunga fired wide after a mazy run.
Celtic's win moves them above Rangers into second place, while St Mirren's defeat leaves them searching for a spark in the final third to create more scoring opportunities. The match was also notable for the return of the Green Brigade to Celtic Park, who were in fine voice ahead of next week's Scottish Cup semi-final.
