McGregor’s 95th-Minute Winner Lifts Celtic Over St Mirren, Keeps Pressure on Hearts

The late strike masked faltering form under interim management, with boardroom unrest after the aborted AGM still unresolved.

Overview

  • VAR upheld an offside call against Conor McMenamin, so Liam Scales’ own goal for St Mirren was correctly disallowed.
  • Celtic failed to test goalkeeper Shamal George until stoppage time, highlighting ongoing attacking problems despite the win.
  • The captain’s long‑range finish arrived deep into added time and prompted wild celebrations, including a brief pitch invasion.
  • The match followed an abandoned AGM that drew loud anti‑board chants from Celtic supporters, reflecting continuing tensions.
  • Martin O’Neill remains in temporary charge as the club searches for a permanent manager, with Wilfried Nancy linked by reports but not confirmed.
