he late kickoff in Paisley produced a great game of football and if I can quote from Mr Trump - That must have made great TV.

The game started at a fast pace and continued like that for the whole match.

Celtic were first to score when in the 28th minute J. Schlupp scored with a shot off the inside of the post and into the net.

St Mirren continued to press Celtic and brought out two great saves from Schmeichel when he saved first from Toyosi Olusanya and again from Saints captain Mark O'Hara.

In the 33rd minute Saints drew level with a great free-kick from Declan John.

The game continued at pace and in time added on Celtic got a penalty, up stepped Arne Engels and it was 1 - 2 at halt time.

Shortly after the restart Killian Phillips fired a shot into the ground and the bounce beat Schmeichel to finish high in the Celtic net. 2 -2. The game rarely slowed down and in the 68th minute Yang Hyun-jun scored his first and Celtic's 3rd goal.

With time running out St Mirren thought they had a penalty but the referee thought otherwise and within a minute Celtic's Maeda made the score 2 - 4 with 88 minutes on the clock. And to finish the game in the 93rd minute it was Yang Hyun-jun with his second and Celtic's 5th goal.

Final score St Mirren 2 - 5 Celtic.
