I don’t think the locals were very happy 🤣

Its the same at Ibrox make no mistake, but still this made me laugh:

I think Celtic have made a huge mistake not allowing Martin O'Neill to continue as head coach until of the season at least. He has vast experience, understand the club and has take them back in form and title challenges which they weren't before he went in. 

I would have given O'Neill the job for the next 18 months, and review then.

Anytime one, or preferably both, the bigot boys lose is a big smile day. COYP.

Did O'Neill want the the job in a long term capacity? I only remember him saying he'd keep the ship steady until a new manager was identified. He's 74 in March and hasn't managed full time in 6 years - presumably by his own choice. 

Very early days for Nancy - you can't judge after one game. I do think it would have made sense to hold off on the appointment until after the Hearts match, mind, but it may have sent out the wrong message to do so.

Congratulations St Mirren

Lol, Celtic board probably already begging O'Neill to come back.

celtic humbled by the mighty st mirren😁

having watched the game st mirren were by far better organised and commited and deserved to win,celtic players looked bereft of ideas,i think the celtic board have appointed a duffer😄

Dicked by the title competitors, gubbed in Europe, lose a cup final. Proper start.

Delighted for St Mirren. Finally a positive to living in Paisley.

[simongarnerisgod]

if it carries on like this at parkhead then we`ll see what a proper protest looks like😆

[chaddyrovers]

Oh well they get what they deserve

[Norbert Rassragr]

Whenever those scumbag clubs from Glasgow get knocked off their perch domestically it's great.

[oldjamfan1]

I don’t think I can remember a time when both old firm teams were so poor. Remarkably it’s over 40 years since anyone other than Celtic or Rangers won the title so I would say it’s overdue!

Pleasing result for St Mirren.

[TheKitGuy]

Nancy should be gone.

Pleased to St. Mirren in yesterday. Always refreshing to see a different side lift a trophy in Scotland that isn't Celtic or Rangers.

Celtic certainly appear to have shot themselves in the foot in the short term with the appointment of Nancy. They had caught Hearts and I have no doubt they'd not have lost that game with O'Neill in charge. He seemed to have revitalised them in recent weeks only for a new guy to come in and set them back again.

Hearts have a huge opportunity in the league now.

I see O'Neill has let be known he would have been happy to carry on!

If Nancy was the best option they had then I don't know why they didn't just let him carry on. Not to say Nancy won't be a success eventually - stranger things have happened - but his résumé didn't exactly invoke the need for a swift appointment. Or being appointed at all.

He wanted the job. Celtic board wanted to go for another direction. Stupid move

Nancy has come in with a similar approach to Amorim that this is my system(3-4-3) with no plan B. 

Celtic fans won't put up with this much longer I bet. O'Neil back there for next season, wonder what then odds are on that
