Feeling the pressure
It was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Any sort of reverse at the hands of St. Mirren would have put Tony Mowbray under even more pressure to hold on to his job. The manner of Celtic’s 4-0 hammering at St. Mirren Park made Mowbray’s position untenable. Sky Sports News’ Ed Chamberlain was seen scrambling around his desk to find a statistic that further emphasised the humiliation suffered. This was Celtic’s heaviest defeat to a Scottish side not called Rangers since 1980. No one wants to see a manager sacked (apart from perhaps Sam Allardyce), but even the most fervent Mowbray supporter could have defended him after what turned to be his final game as Glasgow Celtic manager.
