Gary Hooper scored the winner in the second minute of injury time as Celtic snatched a 1-0 victory over St. Mirren on Sunday to move a point behind Scottish Premier League leader Rangers.

The striker bundled home a finish at the second attempt after meeting a cross from Paddy McCourt.

Celtic captain Shaun Maloney shot wide with the goal at his mercy earlier in the second half, while Michael Higdon hit the bar in the 70th for St. Mirren, which stayed ninth in the 12-team league.

Celtic recovered from a 2-0 defeat at Hearts on Wednesday to move 10 points clear of the Edinburgh club.
