Celtic Keep Pressure on Hearts

The title race in Scotland remains a tight two-horse race after Celtic dug deep to secure all three points against a resilient St Mirren side.

Oxlade-Chamberlain's second-half strike proved to be the difference, allowing the defending champions to keep pace with Hearts at the top of the table.

Despite not being at their fluid best, manager Martin O'Neill praised his team's grit and determination to secure the result.

The win sets up a thrilling conclusion to the season, with both teams showing little sign of faltering as the league split approaches.
