"There is a huge disparity here so for us to get a trophy, a small club like St Mirren, to do it in the manner we did... I'm so pleased for the boys. "It's pride. We're a small squad, small staff, small admin staff, and everyone pulls together. People were saying we'd turn up and we shouldn't ever beat Celtic on paper.

Celtic have confirmed the appointment of Wilfried Nancy as manager from Major League Soccer (MLS) club Columbus Crew. Nancy has signed a two-and-a-half year contract with the Scottish Premiership side, who have been without a permanent head coach since Brendan Rodgers resigned on October 27.

The defender found the going tough as St Mirren's one-two punch of double goalscorer Jonah Ayunga and Dan Nlundulu wreaked havoc against Scales, Auston Trusty and Anthony Ralston. Scales was refusing to use it as a crux or an excuse as to why Saints feasted on a series of defensive lapses.

This was a win for the ages. It was the first time in 100 seasons that St Mirren have beaten one of the Old Firm in a final. That was against Celtic, too. Albeit the venue for the Scottish Cup final in 1926 wasn’t known as Barclays Hampden, as strictly speaking it is now.

Celtic fans have called on Wilfried Nancy to be sacked after his side's defeat to St. Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final on Sunday.

St Mirren's journey to Hampden began all the way back in July, in the group stages. After a goalless draw in their opener against Arbroath, who snatched the bonus point with a shootout victory, the Buddies beat Forfar 2-1 then skelped Annan 8-2, helped by a hat-trick from Mikael Mandron.
