Celtic swept St Mirren aside this afternoon as a hat-trick from Gary Hooper and goals from Georgios Samaras and Dylan McGeough
Celtic came roaring out of the traps and blew St Mirren away this afternoon. Georgios Samaras got the show underway on 4 minutes when he collected the ball after Marc McAusland failed to make a clean connection on the ball. Samaras still had a lot to do and carried the ball into the box. With defenders closing in from all around the Greek striker placed his shot instead of going for power. St Mirren keeper, Craig Samson got a hand to the shot but the ball spun slowly towards goal and settled 8” over the line.
Four minutes later, a clearly confident Samaras drove into the St Mirren penalty box before cutting the ball left for Anthony Stokes, who’s fired cross was turned over the line from 3 yards by Gary Hooper.
Samaras was running the show but was hampered by a knock to the ankle which he took a few moments to recover from. This coincided with St Mirren’s best period of play as the visitors gained more possession and territorial advantage in the period before half time.
Celtic started the second half just as brightly as they did the first as Hooper and Kayal could both have added to the score, however, the third would arrive 8 minutes into the second half. Victor Wanyama played an excellent forward pass to Stokes who hit the goal line before cutting back for Gary Hooper. Hooper collected with his back to goal but spun and shot in a sweeping move that left Samson with no chance.
Hooper completed his hat-trick on 57 minutes when he tried to play a one-two with Stokes but the ball was returned by a defender, allowing him to chip the on-rushing Samson.
18-year-old Dylan McGeough made his first impact as a Celtic player minutes after replacing James Forrest when he collected the ball 10 yards in front of his own box, ran 70 yards into the St Mirren box, before creating space and despatching Celtic’s fifth goal. An unforgettable moment for the young player.

Sone Aluko makes a difference already. He plays Pascali onside for the goal.
Quality.
Oh ra rankers are Shoite!
You absolute effing dancer. And Aluko the man to keep Killie onside!
Lhads, i work with the Killie team. Will see them tomorrow, any messages??
I’ll be buying the first round at the Crimbo night out!!
Don’t know why people are getting so excited. Jelavic told us just a couple of weeks ago that the league was over.
Oh you absolute beauty! GIRFUY huns. Off for family lunch now with a grin the size of a house it’s game on now!!! Someone said yesterday they were at dry cleaners picking up the towel they threw away better pick mine up as well. I was wrong and I don’t mind admitting it in fact I’m overjoyed to admit it. Wonder how moiety feels tonight ha ha
Does Jellybean still think rangers are uncatchable…
HH
Brilliant!
Did not see that coming, but in truth Killie were in almost complete control.
The claret as slipped from the gloved hand and is about to break on the marble staircase…

Can you all hear something???????
Is it the sound of bottles crashing down ipox way?????
Mon the HOOOOOOOPPPPPPSSSSSSS

A wee party shall now commence.From 12 to 4 in days.The tide has turned.HH
Yess. Cmon Lenny do your stuff.

killie playing fitba…pass and move ..calm composed etc Sissoko was superb in every aspect of his play …looks the real deal! MOTM by a mile
ref fair..well, reasonably so
currants bereft of ideas and i am sure they lost heart in the last quarter ..really they looked like thems had chucked it
as someone has already said ..they have nothing in reserve they are all out and practically dead on their feet
nice

Real questions of McCoist now. However, I expect the press to rally round and not to point out the squandering of such a lead, nor will they draw attention to the utter poverty of the Huns, both on and off the pitch.
Without Jelavic they would struggle to finish top three…
What a great result – huns are wobbling, 4 points dropped in 2 games; we can smell your fear!
Wonder if Truth 1690 will put in an appearance?
:-)))))
Can anybody tell me where I can hear a radio phone in on the Internet tonight? Nothing on Clyde ….
some debut for Aluko aberdeen fan informed shortbread same old Sone Lazy.now 4 points but cant take eye off the ball
H H
Kenny Shiels …… a genuine guy.
Well done.
This is just the filip that all of scottish football needs, eh!??
:)))))
HHH.
Didn’t watch the 2nd half partly because my stomach churns wanting bad things to happen to Rankers but mostly because the game was absolutely dire. Just turned on Shortbread there to find out the Ayrshire huns won. Happy days.
The pundits on Shortbread sound a wee bit sad.
Fantastic Result what a week this has been, not impresed by der hun at all they seriously lack any invention in their play and this is against a team who allow you to play football
An unexpected wee bonus. And they have lost their unbeaten run.
However, before we meet they have Dunf (h), Hibs (a) and ICT (h) whereas we have United (a), Hearts (h) and St. Johnstone (a).
So while we can rejoice at this good spell, we must keep our own run going right up to the end of December.
P.S. Has truth been in to tell us we’d be well rid of Neil Lennon? Thought not.
8 points clawed back in a week, cheers wgs for starting that off with your comments last week!
Stolen from a text from occasional CQN poster ‘every day’s a school day’
Credit where credit’s due!
Jobo
:-)
Had a feeling there would be a good result today! GIRFUY hun bassas! Lenny and the Bhoys are hunting you down!!!!
Hear Aluko played the Killie guy onside for the goal; WHAT. AN. IMPACT.
Well done Killie, about bloody time!!!
Great to be a celtic supporter this week-end we are well and truly back in the title race.Kilmarnock showing they are a capable team at Rugby Park and Rangers showing they have a weak squad the minute injuries hit them they are in trouble. We just have to keep our good run going as the title race is wide open I am delighted for Lennie and the Bhoys. H.H.
You dont think the huns will turn on “seany” nooooo?
Och, it was all starting so well tae……..
R.I.P. Gary Speed

Sone Aluko digging deep to pay for the fuel for the bus on the way back up the road after he agrees to pay the win bonuses for his team mates.

Absolutely wonderful weekend……!!!!!!!!!!!…………..will be interesting to ‘watch’ the media reaction to the ‘singing’ at Rugby Park…….don’t hold your breath…..!!!!
