Celtic coach Tommy Burns thought the referee was right to award the late free-kick that Shunsuke Nakamura converted to help the Bhoys clinch a controversial 1-0 victory at St Mirren on Sunday.

The Buddies were adamant that the free-kick should not have been awarded but Burns took a contrary view of the game's key incident.

He said: "I didn't got a good look at it but at the time it seemed to me to be a foul. Nakamura cleverly cut across him (Gary Mason) and doing that you'll always get the benefit of the doubt, as a forward.

"It wasn't easy on the eye but it won't be anything that will concern anyone if we manage to win the league."
