Celtic fans on TalkingPoints have named their man of the match from a nervy 1-0 win over St Mirren.
It was far from a classic performance, but as we have become accustomed to under Martin O’Neill, this team knows how to find a way.
It would just be nice if the team could find a way to ease our nerves a bit, with five more crucial games remaining in what is sure to be a dramatic Scottish Premiership run-in.
We gave them a choice of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Tierney and Daizen Maeda, and one of those choices was controversial.
POLL: Have your say…
Celtic fans name Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as man of the match vs St Mirren
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was the man chosen by our TalkingPoints users on 67HailHail, earning more than half of the vote for man of the match.
It’s understandable given that he scored the game’s decisive goal, but the Englishman also ran his socks off all day.

His goal was his first since scoring on his debut against Livingston in February, and he also had one disallowed earlier on in the game.
Daizen Maeda received 18% of the vote after an energetic but largely unfruitful game on the left hand side.
Kieran Tierney came second with a quarter of the voting, but his nomination for selection was controversial among some of our readers.
One said: “Can’t believe KT got the vote, thought he was poor, would rather have Sarrachi.”
Saracchi assisted Kelechi Iheanacho’s winner against Dundee from the bench last week, but remained an unused substitute this time around.
Another user wrote: “KT was the poorest member of our back four in a game where none of our defenders were impressive.”
A final one added: “Tierney was poor along with a good few others, just no connection as a team.”
The win was Celtic’s 21st of the season in the Scottish Premiership taking them within three points of league leaders Hearts.
