What were the highlights of St Mirren's tactical masterclass?

Unknown 0:00
This is a catch up version of the live daily Go Radio football show weekdays from five till seven across Scotland on DAB and around the world on the Go Radio app. Charlie, you were there. We saw you in Premier Sports. I know you'd first of all want to say congratulations to St Mirren.
Charlie 0:19
Yeah, first things first, St Mirren were brilliant on the day. Every single player knew their job, knew what was expected of them. They had a clear game plan, not a lot different to what they usually do at St Mirren, which was key. Iunga, Lundelu, Mandron coming on, handfuls up top and yeah they'd done their job they scored three goals and to be honest Paul they'd 10 shots on target probably could have been They looked like the team that were probably going to score more goals. Celtic, yeah, they nullified Celtic. I knew that St Mirren would play on a counter-attack. I knew that's the style in which they play. I just couldn't believe how little Celtic threatened the goal. And it was very comfortable for St Mirren, but it looks like I had to see Robinson after it.

How has Celtic's recent form affected their management?

Charlie 1:09
You must have been the most comfortable you felt against Celtic, especially in a cup final. He didn't buy in, he didn't say that's how he felt, but... That's how it looked to me. Yeah, fair play to St Mirren. They deserved it yesterday.
Unknown 1:22
What were the Celtic fans saying to you afterwards?
Charlie 1:25
I didn't speak to any Celtic fans, to be honest. I just had a look at the game myself and just was really disappointed with what I saw. Firstly, when the first goal goes in for St Mirren, Marcus Fraser, I felt sick for Wilfred Nance because I know how... how disappointing that would have been after the week they've had and that goal goes in it's the last thing you need to play against a counter-attacking team similar to Hearts in terms of when you're looking to sit back and soak up the pressure the last thing you need is the team that are going to soak up the pressure to score the goal because then it gives them something to hold on to so they score that early you know it's going to be difficult and it takes Celtic to get going 20 minutes into the game they get going the intensity lifts it's absolutely brilliant
Charlie 2:17
it's good play no great play it's good play till half time and then just kind of never gets anywhere after that they sit in a Celtic sort of try and play they huff and puff and don't really create many chances and it looked like a group of players kind of with a lot on their mind and a lot of information to process and it made them look kind of unfitting Yeah, not too sure on what their jobs were and it was disappointing. It was well deserved for St Mirren and disappointing to see.
Barry 2:47
Barry, what did you see yesterday? I seen a St Mirren team that thoroughly deserved their win.

What led to the resignation of Celtic chairman Peter Lawwell?

Barry 2:55
Off to a brilliant start. I thought it was a really well worked corner kick. I think it was Kylian Phillips who runs across the front post, creates that space. Hattati's not strong enough Marcus Fraser with a great header and then that settles St Mirren down yep Celtic come into the game 20 minutes into it St Mirren seen it out one each and then I thought in the second half the tactical changes from the manager Steven Robinson were brilliant that changed the game and I thought St Mirren ran out easily the best team on the pitch What change did you see Barry that Celtic didn't cope with? The two centre forwards went in the outside of both Ralston and Scales that stopped the two centre backs the way that Celtic wanted to play he wants his centre backs driving with the ball and he put Bacchus on top of Callum McGregor who's Celtic's
Barry 3:52
main playmaker and the differences and the changes sorry that he made at half time or the difference in the second half and I thought St Mern ran out and Very good winners at the end of the day. The manager deserves a lot of credit, but there's some of the players in that St Mirren team where a lot of people will not know of them. His recruitment has been unbelievable. He has to change it every single summer because he loses his best players.
