An early Gary Hooper double gave Celtic a much-needed 2-0 victory over St Mirren in their Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash at St Mirren Park.
The former Scunthorpe striker linked up with Anthony Stokes with six minutes gone to fire past Craig Samson from close-range and then capitalised on a mistake by former Hoops midfielder Paul McGowan to grab a second six minutes later.
The Buddies responded impressively but there were chances missed at both ends as Celtic did enough to secure their first win in four games.
