Celtic lost in the league after 364 days, but the real infamy was in the stands at St Mirren
Reigning champions Celtic's near year-long unbeaten run in the Scottish Premiership came to an end on Sunday when the Glasgow giants suffered a shock 2-0 defeat by St Mirren.
Goals either side of half-time from Mark O'Hara and Jonah Ayunga condemned visitors Celtic to a first league loss in 39 matches, a sequence spanning 364 days.

Celtic fans interrupted the minute's applause in memory of the Queen before the game by singing anti-Royal chants. Supporters also held up a banner with the same message, while there were audible boos before the minute's applause had even got underway.

Celtic remain top of the table but they now lead Rangers by just two points after their arch-rivals won 2-1 at home to Dundee United on Saturday.
St Mirren's first home win over Celtic since 2010 catapulted the Paisley club into third place, four points adrift of Rangers, with the Buddies joining Real Madrid as the only other team to have defeated Ange Postecoglou's men in any competition so far this season.
