Kenya national team Harambee Stars forward Jonah Ayunga scored for St. Mirren in their 1-1 draw against Scottish Premiership giants Celtic at Celtic Park on Saturday.

The 27-year-old was a constant threat to Celtic's defence on the break as they came close to a rare win and qualification for European football until James Forrest's late equaliser and Dundee United's comeback over Aberdeen.

A wide free kick from Declan John wasn't dealt with by Liam Scales whose header would only fall as far as Ayunga, who slammed beyond Kasper Schmeichel to score his second goal in the last three games.

But unfortunately Celtic levelled matters in the fourth minute of added on time. Saints failed to clear their lines allowing Alastair Johnston to slide the ball through to the unmarked Forrest, who slotted beyond Hemming to secure a share of the spoils for the Hoops on the day they lifted the William Hill Premiership title.

Ayunga has managed 28 matches in the Scottish Premiership this season, scoring four goals and creating four assists.
