Match report as Celtic beat St Mirren 2-0 at Parkhead to stay top of the Scottish Premiership by three points from Rangers; second-half goals from Cameron Carter-Vickers and Callum McGregor saw the hosts to a comfortable win
Wednesday 2 March 2022 22:01, UK
Second-half goals from Cameron Carter-Vickers and captain Callum McGregor saw Celtic cruise past St Mirren 2-0 at Parkhead to maintain their three-point lead over champions Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
After a frustrating opening 45 minutes in Glasgow, the home team finally took a deserved lead 10 minutes after half-time when Carter-Vickers smashed home from close range after the visitors failed to clear a free-kick.
McGregor’s low drive from the edge of the box then confirmed Celtic’s victory with nine minutes to go as Ange Postecoglou’s side stayed ahead of Rangers with now just nine matches left this season.
