McGregor's Stunner Seals Unlikely Celtic Victory

Celtic captain Callum McGregor delivered a moment of brilliance, scoring a spectacular 25-yard goal in stoppage time to secure a crucial 1-0 victory over St Mirren. This unlikely win, achieved with what interim manager Martin O'Neill described as a 'great goal from a great player', helped the champions reduce the deficit to league leaders Hearts to four points.

Despite a performance where O'Neill admitted Celtic 'didn't play well' and gave the ball away cheaply, the team's spirit, attributed to their captain, shone through. St Mirren, meanwhile, felt aggrieved, having come close to scoring themselves and having a goal controversially disallowed for offside. Saints boss Stephen Robinson expressed frustration with the fine margins and decisions going against his side.

Robinson lamented the disallowed goal, stating it was an offside decision where the player 'motioned towards the ball', a phrase he found perplexing. He highlighted the team's strong defensive and offensive play, creating numerous chances, but ultimately losing to an incredible strike. The manager emphasized controlling what they can control, which is their own decision-making and finishing, rather than officiating calls.
