Champions Celtic made it five Scottish Premiership wins out of five and consigned St Mirren to a season’s first league defeat after coming from behind in Paisley according to BBC.
Liam Scales’ header and Yang Hyun-jun’s calm finish overturned the hosts’ half-time advantage, obtained through Nikolas Agrafiotis’s penalty.
Scales had conceded the spot-kick when his fist blocked Chris Mochrie’s volley, with referee Ryan Lee showing no hesitation in pointing to the spot.
Camilo Duran netted from a Yang cross but VAR ruled offside on a very marginal call as the Paisley side’s lead held until the break.
Luke Thomas could not direct his effort on target as St Mirren opened up their visitors in search of a late leveller, and fellow substitute Shim Mheuka was denied a first Celtic goal by another VAR offside.
Martin O’Neill’s side are top on 15 points, five points above Craig McLeish’s St Mirren and Rangers.
