Review
St Mirren made all the early running but failed to score until the 29th minute when Bryceland put away a Miller cross. Having gained the lead they more than held on to it till half time with Celtic struggling to make an impression on the game. In the second half St Mirren continued to pressurise the Celtic goal and they should have had a penalty. Instead it was Celtic that won the penalty when Buchanan challenged and toppled Wilson in the box. Who would take the penalty? Up stepped Collins and scored to level the game.
