ST MIRREN RECEIVE FINAL BLOW
POINTS CONCEDED TO CELTIC
Celtic dashed St Mirren’s hopes of staying in the First Division by their victory over the Paisley club at Parkhead, Glasgow.
The visitors fought heroically and were just a shade unfortunate at times not to score. The turning point in the game was when Kennaway saved a penalty kick by Knox, which would have nullified Celtic’s early lead, given them by O’Donnell, who scored after six minutes. McCloy had no chance with the winger’s fast shot from twelve yards.
The home defence was sound, but Knox and McGregor were in a lively mood, and their difficult shots brought out the best in Kennaway. The visitors played some fine football, and never lost heart, not even when Mclnally ran through to slip the ball past the outcoming McCloy to practically seal St Mirren’s fate.
Play became rather too robust towards the end, and two St Mirren players had their names taken by the referee.
Celtic were value for their win. but the visitors made a great fight against the superior positional play of the home side, and in a closing raid Latimer got their solitary goal when he slipped the ball past Kennaway just before the final whistle.
