Celtic

Celtic restored their nine-point lead over Rangers with a 5-1 victory at St Mirren to round off the cinch Premiership action on Sunday.

It was a bit of banter with Marshall. Surely in that context it is not offensive and that must carry a bit of weight. This time they took advantage after Jack Baldwin's 70th-minute dismissal as Kevin van Veen took his Dingwall tally for the season to five with a late double.

Oh Hyeon-gyu scored his first Scottish Premiership goal on Sunday, hammering in a penalty in the 81st minute to round off Celtic's 5-1 rout of St. Mirren.

Oh also scored at almost the exact same time in the game, the 80th minute on that occasion, although it was not a penalty and it was only the third goal of the match. Mirren 5-1 in the round of 16 of the Scottish FA Cup on Feb. He was called up to the senior Korean squad for the first time on Nov. Oh, who had come on as a substitute for Kyogo Furuhashi shortly before the third goal, was fouled in the box in the 80th minute, earning a penalty after a VAR review and stepping up to take it himself. It was a dramatic game for the Scottish league leaders on the road at Paisley 2021 Stadium in Paisley, Scotland. Jota scored the equalizer in the 56th minute, with Alistair Johnson adding the go-ahead goal five minutes later.

IT'S been all drama in Paisley where St Mirren have a slender lead over Celtic.VAR penalised Greg Taylor for handball just six minutes in and Mark O'H.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has named his Celtic team vs St Mirren for today's Scottish Premiership clash.

There are no injuries to speak of in the entire squad apart from Benjamin Siegrist. Any rotation is likely to come mid-week at Celtic Park. [Ange Postecoglou](https://www.67hailhail.com/tag/ange-postecoglou/) has named his Celtic team vs St Mirren for today’s [Scottish Premiership](https://www.67hailhail.com/tag/scottish-premiership/) clash.

Paisley is the only venue Ange Postecoglou's side have lost at this season and will be looking to avenge September's 2-0 defeat.

It’s going to be a tough challenge for us today. We treat every opponent the same. It’s a tough ask for us, but at the same time, we’ve been pretty good for a while now. [Stephen Robinson](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/stephen-robinson) will be looking to throw up another road block however, with the Buddies boss keen to put the bottom six in his rear view mirror and secure a top half finish for the first time. Mark O'Hara has scored a second penalty in as many games for St Mirren against Celtic. A cross ball from the left seeks to unlock Jota for the first time in this match. Gogic then does well to win a foul in the middle of the park. This is going to be a proper barrage of Celtic pressure for the rest of this game. He rolls it direct into the bottom corner and now there's a question for Celtic to answer. A gaffe at one end and a good cross a the other from Small. [St Mirren](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/st-mirren-fc) in Paisley, but they've since accelerated away from Rangers and show no sign on hitting the brakes at the top of the Scottish Premiership. But he just puts it into the stand, to the frustration of the away camp.

Andrew Dallas, without telling Dickinson to look himself, said that it should be a free-kick and not a penalty. David Dickinson had no option but to send the Irish defender off and point to the spot. Charles Dunne made a mess with the pass back to Trevor Carson, Kyogo got behind him and the central defender hauled the Japanese striker to the ground before he could get a shot away.

St Mirren could potentially go back to joint-4th if they can shock the Hoops for a second time in Paisley. Since that 2-0 win for St Mirren in September, Postecoglou’s side have won every game they have played other than a 2-2 draw at Ibrox in January and built up a commanding lead at the top of the league.

For 45 minutes, it was the perfect game plan." The decision is a poor decision, it's a red card. "When you go a goal down, you have to maintain your composure and we did that. "They get the first goal and we're trying to change it to give us another platform up top with Tony Watt and they score from a free-kick. The boys are good where when they're playing, they are ready to play and it was a massive contribution. And there was a first Celtic league goal for Oh as well, with the South Korean striker being felled by Alex Gogic in the area. We know it's a difficult place to come to and we had to be really disciplined even after we went a man down. We stayed calm and looked for the best options. "You have to ask Greg if it's harsh on him. Nine minutes later, the low-on-confidence St Mirren players succumbed to a third goal. There's the argument of taking your arm out of the way, but Greives is getting round the other side." More quickfire strikes from substitutes Liel Abada, Matt O'Riley and a penalty from Hyeongyu Oh added further punishment to St Mirren.

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou: "We had to keep our composure. We always know in these kind of games, whether it's 10 or 11 men, we'll overrun the ...

It doesn't matter what the opposition are doing and what the context of the game is." Celtic scored their fifth through Oh Hyeon-Gyu's penalty, which was awarded after Alex Gogic's shirt pull on the striker was reviewed. Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou: "We had to keep our composure.

But the away side were left a goal down within five minutes, after a delayed VAR review awarded a hand ball inside the penalty area against Greg Taylor.

Saints had well and truly crumbled Celtic had a penalty when a tired-looking Alex Gogic pulled back substitute Oh in the box. Then when Jota was obstructed on the left flank, Celtic had a freekick in a dangerous area. Johnston found Abada, who played the ball to Aaron Mooy. And Abada was involved as Celtic broke Saints’ stubborn resistance. Dunne undercooked a pass back to Carson. Jota, Alistair Johnston, Liel Abada, Matt O’Riley all netted before a penalty by Oh Hyeonghu rounded off this rout.

CELTIC turned in a five-star second-half performance to blow away 10-man St Mirren at the SMiSA Stadium to maintain their nine-point lead...

His equalising goal probably won’t make his highlights reel, scrambling home at the back post from all of a few inches, but boy did both he and Celtic need it. It was subsequently determined that the infringement had taken place a matter of inches outside of the box, and on reflection, that looked just about right. [world](/news/world_news/) that he would be having another off day here for almost an hour, with nothing much happening for him at all out on the right. Initially, the on-field decision was a penalty to Celtic, but as Aaron Mooy waited to take it, VAR intervened. As far as the referee’s union are concerned, this match would be an example of how VAR has helped them to correct calls that otherwise would have been erroneous. Prior to this game, Celtic hadn’t only failed to win at the SMiSA under Postecoglou’s management, they hadn’t even scored a goal.

The home side led at the half-way mark thanks to a Mark O'Hara penalty in the sixth minute.

The Saints defender was less effective with an attempted passback which sent Kyogo Furuhashi clear and he instantly reacted to pull the striker down. Reo Hatate’s first-time effort from 18 yards grazed the crossbar after a poor clearance and the Japanese midfielder twice set up Jota with back-heels. Dickinson issued a red card and pointed to the spot but the second punishment was downgraded to a free-kick by VAR official Andrew Dallas without Dickinson being asked to watch the tight call on screen.

Joe Shaughnessy and Tony Watt were introduced for Saints not long after Johnston's goal, but Celtic would score twice in two minutes to put the game beyond doubt. Referee David Dickinson was advised to check the pitchside monitor after a handball from Greg Taylor and Saints captain O'Hara scored his third goal against Celtic this season from 12 yards to put us ahead. And Celtic made the most of their man advantage in the second-half; scoring five goals to take the points.

Celtic scored five goals in 25 second-half minutes to turn round a half-time deficit against 10-man St Mirren.

Abada was again involved as Celtic moved further ahead two minutes later, setting up O’Riley to sweep home first time. Mooy also set up Celtic’s second goal five minutes later when Johnston got headed home from the Australian’s free-kick. Celtic scored five times in 25 minutes as the Scottish Premiership leaders romped to a 5-1 victory against 10-man St Mirren on Sunday.

Jota, Alistair Johnston, Liel Abada, Matt O'Riley and Oh Hyeon-gyu all struck within half an hour a Celtic won 5-1 at St Mirren.

Robinson sent on Tony Watt and moved to a back four but his side were almost immediately caught out by a counterattack that finished with Furuhashi hitting the post and Taylor clearing off the line from Abada. The ball hit the left-back’s hand from close range and the referee, David Dickinson, pointed to the spot after watching the incident on his monitor. Reo Hatate’s first-time effort from 18 yards grazed the crossbar after a poor clearance and the Japanese midfielder twice set up Jota with back-heels.

Ange Postecoglou hailed the contribution of Liel Abada after the half-time substitute had a major impact in Celtic's emphatic comeback against 10-man St ...

“He’s a really ambitious guy who wants to be at a big football club. “He’s played a lot of football over the last 18 months for us and he’s scored a lot of goals and supplied a lot of assists. “People focus on who starts and they think players aren’t getting game time. Consistently, when he is asked to contribute, he makes a contribution.” He and Matty (O’Riley) are probably the only two who have played every game for us this year. I knew he would get a bit of space out wide to run at them.

Canadian international Alistair Johnston scored his first goal for Celtic in a 5-1 win over St. Mirren in Scottish league play Sunday.

Celtic (25-1-1) has a nine-point edge over rival Rangers (21-2-4) atop the Scottish Premiership. The ball came off Johnston's head and bounced in off St. The 24-year-old from Aurora, Ont., gave Celtic a 2-1 lead in the 61st minute, heading home an Aaron Mooy free kick at the far post.

However, the Scottish champions put on a five-star second-half performance with Jota, Alistair Johnston, Liel Abada, Matt O'Riley, and Oh Hyeonghu all netting ...

Barely 60 seconds later, Abada picked out substitute Matt O’Riley on the six-yard box, who turned home a fourth. Johnston found Abada, who played the ball to Aaron Mooy. Celtic’s Daizen Maeda was replaced at the break by Liel Abada.

There was no trend, Ange Postecoglou claimed sniffly, when invited to assess the fact a latest trek to St Mirren Park pitched him up to the only top-flight ...

It allowed the South Korean striker to place his name on the scoresheet with a little hop and skip run-up before tucking his 81st-minute penalty into the corner. A dreamy touch took him into the box and allowed him to tee himself up to smash into the corner in the 70th minute, before he crossed for Matt O’Riley to knock-in on the half turn within a further 180 seconds. The flurry was completed by VAR not missing in favour of Celtic, Dickinson awarding a penalty after another trip to his monitor following Oh Hyeon-gyu hitting the deck after a push and pull of his jersey by Alex Gogic. Communicated to Dickson that he ought to take a look at the manner the ball struck Taylor, television evidence also suggested he arrived at the correct decision in then signalling for a spot-kick. The evidence the points to that conclusion is hardly of the scant variety. The Celtic manager was terse in his analysis of a system he has little-love for.
