St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson: “The performance was very good. We’ve run Celtic very close, been beat by a fantastic goal.
“We had numerous chances ourselves, we pressed them well, showed good quality but the thing we’re in control of is finishing those chances. The fine margins are going against us at this moment in time.
“Decisions have to start going for you at some stage. We have to keep producing those performances and trying to catch the teams above us.
“[Conor McMenamin] is not in line with the goalkeeper, does not touch the defender – Liam doesn’t see him at all. That’s not a factual decision of offside, it’s a subjective decision, which the referee should be called over for. I’m sure they’ll create some sort of name for it.
“Very, very disappointed. Arguably one of the reasons we’re where we are in the league when all those small margins go against you.”
Celtic interim manager Martin O’Neill: “We’ve won the game with a wonder strike from a very talented player.
“A lot of frustration too. We didn’t create enough, we didn’t take care of the ball well enough, but I’m relieved we’ve won.
“The minute he got himself a little angle on the edge of the box, I thought ‘he’s going to score here’.
“There’s relief as much as anything else, but you enjoy winning football matches – that’s what it’s about. It keeps confidence alive as much as anything else and keeps momentum going.”
