Stephen Robinson says Celtic did something he'd never seen them do before against St Mirren on flag day.
It was far from a classic on the opening weekend of the Scottish Premiership season at Parkhead as Luke McCowan's late deflected strike proved the difference between the sides.
Celtic initially thought they took the lead midway through the second half through captain Callum McGregor, although he was adjudged to have handled the ball in the build-up.

They eventually got their winner three minutes from time, and in the remaining eight, including stoppages, they looked to run down the clock.
St Mirren boss Robinson says he'd never seen the like from a Celtic team at Parkhead: "We're disappointed to lose in that manner, a deflected goal," he said [@saintmirrenfc on X].
"We did so much good work, some fantastic teamwork in terms of our pressing and our energy. So I can't ask for anymore in that.
"They score a deflected goal, Celtic are wasting time in the last five minutes, which I've not seen before at Celtic Park. So that tells you that we were still very much a threat to them."
St Mirren welcome Motherwell to Paisley this weekend for their second league game of the season, meanwhile Celtic travel to face Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
