GLASGOW, Dec 14 (Reuters) - St Mirren claimed the Scottish League Cup for the second time in their history when they beat Celtic 3-1 at Hampden Park on Sunday.

The club from Paisley, a town west of Glasgow, secured the trophy thanks to an early goal from Marcus Fraser and a second-half double from Jonah Ayunga, with Reo Hatate scoring for Celtic.

St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson continues an impressive record, guiding the club to three successive top-six league finishes, their first European qualification in 36 years and now a major trophy.

The picture is far more challenging for newly appointed Celtic coach Wilfried Nancy, who has suffered defeat in each of his first three matches in charge.
