Dermot Desmond's Celtic check in promise as Ange Postecoglou jokes about supremo's first phone call 'in a year'

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou joked he had his first phone call in over a year from Parkhead supremo Dermot Desmond after their shock loss at St Mirren.

Having won the opening six of their Scottish Premiership games, Celtic travelled to St Mirren fresh off the back of a Rangers demolition and with a spring in their step following a draw away at Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. However, the Buddies ran riot with Mark O'Hara and Jonah Ayunga scoring either side of half-time to consign the Parkhead outfit to their first loss of the season on Scottish soil.

Still remaining two points ahead of Gio van Bronckhorst 's men, there is little to worry about for the reigning champions with Motherwell set to visit Celtic Park on Saturday; although Postecoglou opened up on his relationship with the Irish tycoon, quipping that Desmond rang him for the first time in over a year following their loss to Stephen Robinson's side despite bringing the Hoops a season of glory last campaign.
