Review

Celtic are suffering an appalling loss of form. This is their fourth defeat in the last six games.

All the goals came in the last six minutes. Richardson gave Saints the lead before McCluskey equalised.

On full time Saints' full back Alex Beckett hit a superb volley high into the net for a stunning winner as the Celtic fans stood in mute horror.

Things are not going well and there are rumours of unrest at Parkhead,
