'So many positives to take' from Celtic Park defeat

[BBC]

We asked for your views on St Mirren's 1-0 defeat against Celtic.

Here's what some of you said:

Peter: A solid performance from Saints again. Unfortunately, we didn't get a reward for our effort. That's twice now that we've been on the attack in the final minute and the referee has blown for time up with only a fraction of a minute left to play. As the manager stated, it's frustrating not getting at least a point from a good performance.

Ali: There's so many positives to take from this game and with more clinical finishers we would have had at least a point on the board. We should be confident going into the split and the odds are in our favour with three out of the five games at home.

John: Close, but no cigar. After two straight league wins, and improving performances across both, you go to Celtic Park with a little more than just hope. However, we didn't start well and were perhaps a tad fortunate to be only one down at the half.

Second half was way better in terms of passing, movement and generally being on the front foot. We just lacked a striker with an eye for goal, but that's a problem that's haunted us all season.

The Hampden game next week is a free hit and we take what comes. The priority remains getting through that game injury-free, no further blatant kicks in the head for our goal keeper please, and get on with the more important job of securing enough points in five post-split games to avoid the play-off.

All in all, Craig McLeish has brought a positivity to our performances since replacing the previous manager.
