Watch St Mirren goal and Hearts red card that gives Celtic title boost

By /

Celtic were given a title boost after St Mirren beat Hearts 1-0 with a late, late goal.

Hearts went into the game knowing a win would take them nine points ahead of Celtic in the Scottish Premiership table.

Celtic’s next fixture is against Aberdeen at Pittodrie as Martin O’Neill looks to keep on the coattails of the Tynecastle club.

O’Neill was given a huge boost as Hearts collapsed in Paisley to lose 1-0 to give Celtic a big title boost ahead of the Pittodrie trip.

Hearts suffer another red card – is Celtic title pressure showing

For the fifth game this season, Derek McInnes’ side suffered another sending off as the Hearts players lose their discipline in the title race.

Have a watch of this:

A last-man tackle to try and stop a goalscoring opportunity reduced Hearts to ten men as their captain Craig Halkett sees red for the second time this season.

The St Mirren goal that gives Celtic a title boost

As it looked like the game was going to end in a 0-0 draw, Celtic were given a boost when St Mirren’s Miguel Freckleton did this with ten minutes to go.

Celtic now have the opportunity to close the gap to three points with a win at Aberdeen as Hearts start to crack under the pressure.

That’s five points dropped in their last two games as Celtic start to find their winning streak under Martin O’Neill.
