Overview
- Celtic failed to register a shot on target until stoppage time before Callum McGregor struck from 25 yards to seal a 1-0 win in Paisley.
- A Liam Scales own goal was ruled out after VAR supported the on‑field call that Conor McMenamin was offside and interfering with play.
- The victory moves Celtic to within four points of leaders Hearts, who play Aberdeen on Sunday.
- Anti‑board chants were heard before and after the match, a continuation of protests that saw Friday’s AGM abandoned following clashes with the board and remarks from Ross Desmond.
- O’Neill called for “unification” and pressed the board to decide on the manager, with Wilfried Nancy widely reported as the frontrunner and a Europa League trip to Feyenoord up next after a run of poor European results.
