St Mirren were beaten at Celtic Park as a double from Nicolas Kuhn, either side of an Auston Trusty header, saw the hosts win 3-0 in the William Hill Premiership.

Saints were organised in the opening part of the match, but their resistance was broken a little after the half hour mark when Kuhn opened the scoring with Trusty adding a second before the interval. Kuhn rounded off the scoring in second-half to see the points remain in Glasgow.

Stephen Robinson made five changes from Thursday's loss at Kilmarnock. Zach Hemming started in goals after returning to the club on loan on Friday with Ellery Balcombe recalled by Brentford. Elvis Bwomono, Mark O'Hara, Caolan Boyd-Munce and Greg Kiltie also came in while Alex Iacovitti, Oisin Smyth, Roland Idowu and Jonah Ayunga dropped to the bench.

Celtic, who lost their first league match of the season on Thursday when they were beaten 3-0 by Rangers, started quickly and looked to hit Saints on the break in the opening minute of the game. Kuhn tried to race away from the Buddies defence, but he was closely marshalled by Alex Gogic and Richard Taylor who denied the German a shooting opportunity. The hosts would win a corner from it though from which Adam Idah came close to an early goal when he headed Arne Engels' delivery just wide of the right-hand post.

Saints were well structured and looked fairly comfortable as they kept Celtic at bay. The closest the hosts came to opening the scoring in the opening 30 minutes was when Engels almost netted directly from a corner, with Hemming at full stretch to push over. 

The home side found a breakthrough on 33 minutes when Kuhn opened the scoring. Daizen Maeda just beat the offside trap to race down the left channel before rolling the ball along the face of goal to Kuhn who slotted the ball under Hemming to make it 1-0. 

The Buddies kept probing and had a decent opportunity to level when Toyosi Olusanya did well down the right-hand channel. He had Kiltie in a good area for the cut-back, but took the ball a step too far before sending into the box where Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel claimed. 

Celtic doubled their advantage 10 minutes after their opener when Engels' corner met the head of Auston Trusty who nodded home.

Hemming made a good save with his feet early in the second-half to turn away an Engels effort that was deflected goalward by Idah.

Stephen Robinson made a triple change just after the hour mark with the introduction of Smyth, Ayunga and Owen Oseni in place of O'Hara, Kiltie and Olusanya. The Buddies best opportunity to reduce the deficit came just a few minutes later when a Smyth corner met Taylor, but his deflected header was pushed over by Schmeichel. 

Celtic almost immediately went 3-0 ahead when they broke from the resulting Saints corner. Luke McCowan sent Kuhn scuttling away from Marcus Fraser, but Hemming did well to block the attempt. However, just seconds later, Callum McGregor's cross into the box found Engels. His backheel caused a mix up in the Saints defence in which Hemming couldn't gather as he collided with Fraser who looked to clear the ball. That allowed Kuhn to slot home his second and Celtic's third from close range.

Idah thought he'd added a fourth for Celtic five minutes later when, on 73 minutes, he tucked home after his initial effort struck the the bar, but he was flagged offside. 

Saints substitute Ayunga had a big opportunity to add a consolation in the final minute when he outmuscled Cameron Carters-Vickers, but his effort was blocked by Schmeichel.

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Ellery Balcombe has returned to Brentford FC after being recalled by his parent club.

The goalkeeper joined Saints on loan in the summer with Brentford retaining the option to recall the 25-year-old in January. The Bees have now exercised that option.

During his time in Paisley, Ellery made 26 appearances and kept three clean sheets.

St Mirren thanks Ellery for all his contributions during his time at the club and wish him all the very best in his future career.

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Zach Hemming on loan from Middlesbrough until the end of the season, subject to clearance. 

A highly-popular figure in Paisley following a successful loan spell last season, Zach becomes our second signing of the January transfer window as he returns to Saints for the remainder of season 2024/25.

During his time at St Mirren in 2023/24, Zach made 46 appearances, keeping 15 clean sheets as Saints finished in fifth place in the William Hill Premiership and qualified for the UEFA Conference League.

Zach spent the first half of this season on loan to Leyton Orient and will now spend the rest of the campaign in Paisley. 

Speaking to stmirren.com, Zach said: "It's good to be back. 

"I'm pleased that it got over the line and I'm here early in January. Hopefully we can get back into Europe or we can do as well as we did last season and see how it goes. 

"It's like I've never been away. It was really pleasing to see few faces from here last year and obviously a few new faces. It was just good to get back training with the lads and obviously training with Langers.

"The family always watch the games and the kids still support St Mirren.

I had to a few decisions regarding where to go but as soon as St Mirren came in there was only one place I was going.

"I thought I played my part very well last year and I just loved being here. It's a great club, great people in it and everyone just welcomed you as soon as I walked through the door and that played a massive part in it."

Manager Stephen Robinson added: "We’re delighted to have Zach back.

"We think Zach is a very good goalkeeper that we've managed to get back again. 

"We all know what he can do. He was very successful last season and we will be in discussions with Middlesbrough as we look at the potential of making it permanent at the end of the season.

My job is to make the squad as strong as we possibly can in every position. I believe bringing Zach in strengthens the squad and gives us another percentage in trying to stay in the top six.

"It allows us to look for a loan option for Peter [Urminsky]. We believe Peter will be a top-class goalkeeper but he needs games. Brentford also have a call-back option with Ellery [Balcombe] and that's up to Brentford what they do with that situation. But at the minute, we've got very good competition for goalkeepers."

St Mirren travel to Celtic Park on Sunday for our second away match of 2025. 

Saints were beaten by Kilmarnock at Rugby Park in our first game of the new year. A double from Bruce Anderson saw the hosts win 2-0. Despite the loss, St Mirren remain in fifth place in the William Hill Premiership on 27 points. 

Stephen Robinson's men have won two of their last three away matches, beating Ross County (2-1) and St Johnstone (3-2) and have won three in their last five matches overall.

Celtic v St Mirren
Competition: William Hill Premiership
Date: Sunday 5th January 2025
Kick-off: 3pm 
Venue: Celtic Park

The Opposition

Celtic suffered their first league defeat of the season on Thursday as they lost 3-0 against rivals Rangers at Ibrox. It was a first domestic defeat for Brendan Rodgers' men since March last year and saw their lead at the top of the William Hill Premiership cut to 11 points. 

The Glasgow side have won their last five home league matches with the last two before 2025 seeing them defeat both St Johnstone and Motherwell by 4-0 scorelines. 

Celtic were victorious in the only meeting of the two sides this season, with the Hoops winning 3-0 at The SMiSA Stadium back in August. 

Saints' last victory at Celtic Park came in January 2021 when goals from Kristian Dennis and Ilkay Durmus saw us win 2-1 in Glasgow.

The Officials

Grant Irvine is the referee for this one and his assistants are Jonathan Bell and Graham McNeillie.

The video assistant referee (VAR) is Andrew Dallas.

St Mirren were beaten on the first game of 2025 as Bruce Anderson's double gave Kilmarnock all three point at Rugby Park.

The forward scored in each half as Kilmarnock won 2-0 to move to within three points of Saints in the William Hill Premiership.

There were three changes to the side that lost to Dundee on Sunday. Scott Tanser returned from suspension in place of Declan John, while Richard Taylor and Jonah Ayunga came in for Elvis Bwomono and Greg Kiltie. New signing Owen Oseni was on the bench after completing his deal on Wednesday and captain Mark O'Hara joined him on the bench after returning from injury.

Kilmarnock took an early lead after they were awarded a penalty kick just seven minutes in. Alex Gogic's clearance was charged down by Killie forward Bruce Anderson. The ball spun in the air and the striker raced on to it before going down after a nudge from the Cypriot defender. Referee Colin Steven showed no hesitation in pointing to the spot and Anderson stepped up to take. His effort was saved by Ellery Balcombe, but Anderson was quickest to react to the rebound to put the hosts ahead. 

Saints looked to respond quickly with Toyosi Olusanya seeing a shot blocked just a minute later before went down in the box under a challenge a few minutes later but referee Colin Steven was unmoved. The referee was similarly unmoved when Olusanya went down again on 20 minutes after appearing to have his heels clipped. 

A flat first-half performance saw the manager react by bringing O'Hara on for Oisin Smyth at the break before introducing Mikael Mandron for Roland Idowu on 54 minutes. Saints came close to a leveller seconds after the substitution when a free-kick was met by Taylor who headed just wide with Killian Phillips also just inches away from getting his toe on it.

Kilmarnock were awarded their second penalty of the game, and again it looked soft, as Kyle Magennis went down under the challenge from Gogic. Anderson made no mistake as he sent Balcombe the wrong way to double the hosts' lead.

Oseni was brought on for his debut after the goal when he was replaced Ayunga, while Bwomono came on for Gogic. But Saints never really looked like finding a way back into the match as they game fizzled out in disappointing fashion.

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Owen Oseni from Gateshead FC on a three-and-a-half-year deal subject to clearance.

The Buddies have beaten a number of interested parties to sign the highly-rated forward for an undisclosed fee until summer 2028.

The 21-year-old has had an impressive first half of the season at the Tynesiders, scoring 13 goals in 28 appearances, with five goals in his last four matches.

Owen began his career in Ireland with Waterford FC where he got to know Richard Taylor and Roland Idowu before joining English side Derby County in 2023.

Following a fruitful loan spell at Vanarama National League North Rushall Olympic during the second half of 2023/24, where Owen scored eight goals in 15 appearances, the striker joined National League side Gateshead on a two-year deal in the summer.

Speaking after agreeing his deal, Owen said: "I'm really buzzing to get here.

In terms of where the club is heading and its aspirations, it just aligns with mine. I felt like this was the next part of my development and the next part of my journey, so I'm looking forward to it. 

"I spoke to Roland [Idowu] and Richard [Taylor] and they played a part in making my decision to come here. It was a no brainer after they told me. It makes the transition smooth when you see a couple of familiar faces. 

"The manager likes my play style and he thinks I can come into the squad and really help the team push on and achieve the goals that we've set. I feel like I can bring a lot of pace up front. I'm direct, I like to get in behind defender and hopefully I can bring goals as well."

Manager Stephen Robinson told stmirren.com: "Owen is someone that we have watched for a while now.

"His profile fits the way we play. He’s a goalscorer, he can run in behind and he’s a project that we feel is similar to Toyosi Olusanya when he came to the club. We will improve him the more he trains with us, and he will become a big asset to the club.

"It was important we got in early. There were numerous clubs after him. I must mention his agent who was fantastic in terms of the money not being the motivator, but the coaching and the chance to progress his career."

Potential

"He's a project player who we've paid a small transfer fee for because we see his potential. We believe will get better with time and coaching and someone we are delighted to have on board," the manager added. 

"A lot of time players aren’t coming for money because there are teams that will pay more money than us, but we get the right attitude which Owen has. He wants to learn and he wants to get better. 

He's a natural goalscorer, and he's already proven that at the non-league level. Now it's about stepping up to this level, which I'm confident he will do over time."

Looking long-term

"He'll be involved but it’ll likely be from the bench at this moment in time. We’re recruiting with an eye on next season when players are out of contract, but he’ll certainly play a part," the manager continued. 

"He’s a natural goalscorer which is maybe something we've been missing. It's now just getting him up to speed of the game here and how we play."
