Fans paid tribute to retiring goalkeeper on final Parkhead appearances as champions come from behind to beat the Buddies.
The Honduran knocked home Anthony Ralston’s cross at the far post to see-off St Mirren. Stephen Robinson’s side may have given a Guard of Honour before kick-off, but stood on no ceremony once it started and made Brendan Rodgers’ team twice fight from behind in the first period to win it.
Stephen Welsh missed a great chance to open the scoring for Celtic and the hosts were made to pay when Saints took the lead. Rodgers’ team didn’t deal with a long Richard Taylor throw into their box and O’Hara swept home when the ball broke to him in the box. The midfielder hit a post with a header, but referee Matthew MacDermid had already spotted a push in the box and awarded a free-kick and the champions quickly restored parity for a second time. Reo Hatate was the architect with a surge down the right and perfectly-timed delivery into the box for the livewire countryman.
But Celtic had the final say when O’Riley’s backheel gave Ralston a chance to deliver and Palma was free at the far post to score. Here's three points from Parkhead.
