Duran turns provider for Celtic
Camilo Duran plays his part in another Celtic win
After scoring six goals in his previous five games, it looked as though it would not be his night in the fading Paisley light.

His low shot was held by Chapman in Celtic's immediate response to the opener and, after the VAR offside decision, Duran was denied from close range moments after Callum McGregor's volley had been turned away by the St Mirren goalkeeper.
Duran and the other Celtic players were probably starting to wonder if this wasn't going to be their night. However, they weren't to be denied.
However, the Colombian showed impressive tenacity to win possession in the St Mirren half and set up Celtic's second goal. Mheuka took over from Duran and, as well as seeing an effort ruled out for offside, fired another chance over the bar.
Should this goal have been ruled out?

Scales atoned for his earlier spot-kick concession by superbly heading in Benjamin Nygren's corner and came close to repeating the feat from the opposite side.
Calvin Ramsay brilliantly prevented a certain second Celtic goal when he blocked Yang's shot after Chapman had been taken out of the equation by Nygren's pass. Yang, though, would have the final say.
His replacement, Sebastian Tounekti, lacked composure when presented with a similar opportunity, putting his effort wide.
Next up for Celtic
A trip to Perth to face St Johnstone beckons on Wednesday at 8pm. It will be Celtic's first visit to McDiarmid Park in 16 months and O'Neill's first return to Perth as Celtic manager in 25 years.
