Jeffrey Schlupp Scores And Sets Up Another As Celtic Put Five Past St. Mirren

Schlupp scored and provided an assist in the 2-5 win for his side as they maintained top spot in the top flight.

The Ghanaian opened the scoring in the 28th minute from a Nicolas Kuhn assist. The left-back fired a low drive into the bottom right corner to give his side the lead.

However, the home side were level five minutes later through Declan John who scored from a free kick to make it 1-1.

Celtic restored their lead in the 46th minute when Arne Engels scored from the penalty spot following a foul on Daizen Maeda in the penalty box.

Killian Phillips made it 2-2 after the break before Yang Hyun-Jun and Maeda scored to make it 4-2 for the away side.

Deep into added time, Schlupp joined the party again, this time, setting up Hyun-Jun for his second of the game and Celtic’s fifth of the evening.

Schlupp now has two goal involvements to his name since joining Celtic from Crystal Palace.
