What happened

Celtic extended their winning run in the Scottish Premiership with a come-from-behind victory at St Mirren. After falling behind, the champions responded to turn the result around and maintain their 100% start to the campaign. The result reinforces Celtic's position at the top of the table early in the season, while St Mirren remain on the back foot after another setback at home.

Chance analysis

Celtic's ability to grind out a win from a losing position at St Mirren underscores the character of the reigning champions as they navigate the early Scottish Premiership fixtures. Even without a dominant performance, getting three points on the road against a side fighting for survival sends a message to the rest of the league. St Mirren, meanwhile, will take encouragement from leading Celtic but will be frustrated that their efforts didn't earn them anything from the game.

Impact

Celtic consolidate their position at the top of the Scottish Premiership with another win, while St Mirren suffer a defeat that likely deepens their early-season struggles.
