But before that ball could hit the top corner, St Mirren had a goal disallowed earlier in the second half, and it has left their manager, Stephen Robinson<\/a>, annoyed.<\/p>\n Celtic\u2019s last five results vs St Mirren Celtic 1-0 St Mirren Celtic 1-1 St MirrenSt Mirren 2-5 Celtic Celtic 3-0 St MirrenSt Mirren 0-3 Celtic Liam Scales<\/a> proceeded to bundle the ball into the back of his own net, after trying to stretch and clear the ball, as he was entering the penalty area when the ball was pinballing around the place. <\/p>\n St Mirren\u2019s Conor McMenamin, who was ahead of Celtic\u2019s Irish defender<\/a>, was in an offside position, hence Scales\u2019 reason for stretching for the ball. <\/p>\n But speaking to Sky Sports, Robinson slammed the on-field call, which was originally offside and no goal, as well as the referee, Kevin Clancy, for not going to his monitor and analysing it. <\/p>\n \u201cWe had a goal disallowed that, again, they will probably make some sort of reason up as to why to justify it,\u201d said Robinson. <\/p>\n \u201cConor McMenamin is not in line with the goalkeeper. He doesn\u2019t touch the defender, and the defender doesn\u2019t see him. He has his eyes on Jonah Ayunga, so that has to be a subjective decision from the referee to make: \u2018Is he actually interfering with play?\u2019 And he isn\u2019t even called over for that. <\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s hard to take. That\u2019s four goals in four games disallowed. There will, no doubt, be some sort of phrase made up to justify their reason for disallowing it, and the referee not being called up to the monitor.\u201d<\/p>\n \ud83d\udde3\ufe0f \u201cWe have a goal disallowed that, again, they\u2019ll make some sort of reason up to justify it\u201d<\/p>\n Stephen Robinson isn\u2019t happy with the decision to rule out St Mirren\u2019s goal in their defeat to Celtic \u2935\ufe0f pic.twitter.com\/FA1z78SuLx<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Sky Sports Scotland (@ScotlandSky) November 22, 2025<\/a> <\/p>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n Sky reporter challenges Robinson <\/p>\n Following Robinson\u2019s comments, he was challenged by Sky Sports reporter Luke Shanley, who pointed out that McMenamin, the man offside, is \u2018motioning towards\u2019 Scales, as he offered him a different view on matters.<\/p>\n But despite that, Robinson was adamant that his player wasn\u2019t \u2018interfering\u2019 with play, and St Mirren should have opened the scoring, as Celtic sealed a crucial three points in Paisley<\/a>. <\/p>\n Sky reporter: \u201cLet\u2019s look at both sides of it then. There is a view to say that maybe Liam Scales is looking over his left shoulder at Ayunga, or that Conor McMenamin is standing in a position which he could motion towards Liam Scales, and that\u2019s maybe why.<\/p>\n \u201cCould you see both sides of the argument? Or do you look at it purely just that first one?\u201d <\/p>\n Robinson: \u201cCertainly, the referee has to come and make the decision. He doesn\u2019t interfere with the goalkeeper, this side of the ball. He doesn\u2019t touch the defender. He does make an early run, but he\u2019s not actually going for the ball, and the ball is in the back of the net. <\/p>\n \u201cThe defender has put the ball into the back of the net. That has to be the referee that has to make that call, that\u2019s not a factual decision. Yes, he\u2019s offside, but he doesn\u2019t interfere with the play. You could say, \u2018he motions towards the ball.’\u201d<\/p>\n ![\"St](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GettyImages-1407005239-1024x622.jpg\")
