Hooper heroics for Hoops
A dramatic injury-time winner from Gary Hooper gave Celtic three vital points in their Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with St Mirren which ended 1-0 at New St Mirren Park.
The visitors bossed the first half but it was Buddies striker Michael Higdon who came closest to breaking the deadlock in the 52nd minute when his spectacular volley from 35 yards rebounded off the bar.
Both sides then missed decent chances in an absorbing second half before Hooper stabbed in the late winner, after Saints failed to deal with substitute Paddy McCourt's cut-back, to take the visitors back to within one point of leaders Rangers.
Hoops fans spilled onto the track in celebration and after the final whistle they were hailed by boss Neil Lennon, who came onto the pitch no doubt a relieved man.
