Michael Stewart in Celtic offside confession but pundit has eyes fixed on star who got 'bullied'

Michael Stewart reckons Celtic were "bullied" by Jonah Ayunga and Curtis Main in St Mirren's 2-0 win in Paisley. But the pundit also believes Saints' second goal should not have stood - since the Saints striker was marginally offside.

Ange Postecoglou 's team fell to a shock defeat on the road and it was their first Premiership loss since they went down to Livingston almost exactly a year ago. That 364-day undefeated streak came to a crashing halt with Mark O'Hara opening the scoring in the first half before Ayunga popped up after the break to seal a famous Saints win.

It was that second goal that went under the microscope on BBC Sportscene and with the benefit of replays and those all-important dividing lines Stewart, reckons Ayunga was marginally offside when he popped up to nod home after Curtis Main headed across goal. But he saved the bulk of his criticism for Celtic duo Moritz Jenz and Stephen Welsh - who he feels were "bullied" by the Paisley strike duo throughout.
