Celts cruise to victory as great Dane Gravesen fires hat-trick

CELTIC chief executive Peter Lawwell revealed he will be having private discussions with St Mirren after the Saints’ PA announcer claimed the visiting fans had been singing sectarian songs in the first half of the Hoops’ 3-1 Bank of Scotland Premier League victory at Love Street.

A Thomas Gravesen hat-trick gave the Hoops all three points with the Paisley side having only a John Sutton header to show for their efforts.

However, at the interval, with the visitors 2-0 ahead and cruising, the announcer, alluding to the songs and chants from the away support, urged home fans to “keep the good name of St Mirren intact by not responding to sectarian songs being sung”.
