    What a game Forster had today. Stopped about three almost certain goals to keep us in it. He's a great big 'keeper at times.

    Tragic first 70 minutes but a little bit of magic makes all the difference. Good goals from Forrest and Brown (a replay of his goal at Ibrox) and Stokes and Commons made a big difference when they came on.

    Said he was delighted with the win, Hooper played as good as he ever has for us and Brown was excellent.

    I wasn't overly impressed with him to be fair. Goal was awesome though.

    In all honesty he probably was the best outfield player but only because nobody really played that well.

    'Forster made big saves.'

    'Brown was sensational.'

    'St. Mirren and the conditions made it difficult.'

    'Forrest got better as the game went on.'

    'Proud of the winning run and want to keep it going.'

    'That was our toughest game of the winning run.'

    'Hooper's best two performances in a Celtic shirt have been in the last two games, although he didn't score his all-round play has been very good.'

    Excellent hard thought result 2 crackers of goals, especially brown's exact replica of the one he scored at ibrox, Forrest's goal was brilliant aswell as it broke the deadlock for a start.:50:

    I thought Forster was immense. A massive performance from him.

    Average performance, great result. Onwards and upwards. Well done Bhoys, especially Broony, Forrest and Forster :50:

    Let's hope the filth drop something (anything) today.

    That would be my pick too. Although Samaras has played well on the left and Commons will have to work hard to get into the team. Samaras is not a striker and should never play as a striker, but he deserves to keep his place on the left until such time that Commons regains the form of last season. Harsh on Ledley too, who is a consistent performer. There will be injuries etc. between now and the end of the season and Ledley will play a big role I'd say.

    Is it that inconcievable for you to understand that some SPL teams will give us a hard game,especially on their home patch.Good win today and Lennon made the subs at the right time and he gets my praises for that.

    Not strong enough. Put Ledley or Ki in midfield for Stokes and that's your team. No need to play with 4 attackers.

    Today was arguably Forster's best performance in a Celtic jersey to date. I thought he was excellent for us on a couple of occasions in the Europa League and then that performance against Hearts last month when he saved the penalty and Wanyama scored, but he just topped that today.

    Single handedly kept us in the game with a string of four or five impressive saves from point blank range. Really liking the look of him lately, as he's come a long way since last season.

    Great result considering St Mirren are probably the best team outside of us in the SPL and our most consistent performers, Ledley and Wanyama, had off days today.
    Hooper's link up play and touch was fantastic as usual, just a shame he didn't get too much of the ball and only had one shot.

    Commons looked great when he came on, gave us an impetus and I don't think it's a coincidence we scored just a few mins after the sub.

    No idea why the * Lenny started Cha infront of Matthews, or Izzy on the bench.

    I think Sammy's form has dropped again and so he should be back on the bench, Ki as well. Play Stokesy, Izzy and Kris from the start from now on all the time.

    Hail Hail
