On Sunday, another match of the 14th round of the Scottish "Premier" league took place. The championship newcomer "St Mirren" met the leader "Celtic". A hat-trick by Dane Thomas Gravesen gifted the "Celtic" team another victory and allowed them to distance themselves even further from their closest pursuers.
"St Mirren" 1 – 3 "Celtic"
2‘ [0 – 1] Thomas Gravesen
21‘ [0 – 2] Thomas Gravesen
56‘ [1 – 2] John Sutton
69‘ [1 – 3] Thomas Gravesen
The spectators gathered at Paisley's "St. Mirren Park" stadium did not have to wait long for a goal. In the 2nd minute of the game, "Celtic" defender Lee Naylor made a long pass to Kenny Miller, who lifted the ball to Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, and the latter headed the ball to Danish Thomas Gravesen, who easily defeated "St Mirren" goalkeeper Tony Bullock from about 10 meters.
The guests, who scored a quick goal, did not stop attacking and quickly scored a second goal. In the 21st minute, after a pass from Gary Caldwell, T. Gravesen scored another goal with a powerful shot past T. Bullock.
However, all hopes of the hosts were shattered in the 69th minute of the game, when former Real Madrid midfielder T. Gravesen scored his third goal for the team after a corner kick. The "Celtic" team did not even consider giving up the initiative and continued to press their opponents.
This was the last dangerous moment of the match and the final whistle of the referee announced the 12th victory for "Celtic". The Glasgow club currently leads with 37 points, 15 points ahead of the 2nd and 3rd place "Rangers" and "Aberdeen" footballers who share the rank. However, tomorrow evening, the "Lithuanian" Edinburgh "Hearts" will be able to improve their position at home against the "Falkirk" team.
