Celtic Edge Past St Mirren to Stay in Title Hunt

Celtic maintained their pursuit of Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over St Mirren. The winning goal came courtesy of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's first-half strike, which propelled Martin O'Neill's team into second place, three points adrift of Hearts. Despite a promising start, Celtic struggled to assert their dominance, with Oxlade-Chamberlain's 15th-minute goal proving the decisive factor. The hosts created several scoring opportunities but were unable to extend their lead, while St Mirren's attacking efforts were largely stifled. Celtic's narrow win sets the stage for their upcoming Scottish Cup semi-final, as they seek to build momentum in their title challenge.
