St Mirren will need to have clear minds for next Saturday's game against Livingston because they need to start climbing the league.
Celtic already have a sizeable headache after three successive defeats. They go to Tannadice on Wednesday.

It's going to be one helluva party in Paisley tonight.
St Mirren are going home with just their fifth major trophy since they were formed in 1877.
It was no fluke either. They played Celtic like a fiddle in the second half.

St Mirren winger Conor McMenamin tells BBC Scotland: "Just proud of all the team, amazing effort from us all.
"We worked so hard all week, on how we could nullify Celtic and play our own game. We were brilliant.
"We came here and believed in ourselves, believed we could beat Celtic. It wasn't luck today, we deserved to put our hands on that trophy.
"It's the only thing this team hasn't got in the last few years - top six finishes, European things. To get silverware now, we'll go down in history."

I'm frustrated to think Celtic can do okay in the first half then come back out and get it totally wrong. They could not adapt to St Mirren's tactical change.

Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy tells BBC Scotland: "I saw good things but it wasn't enough to win the game. We are struggling, conceded a few goals from set pieces. We had to come from behind, we saw a good reaction. We had many opportunities inside the box to be better.
"When things don't go the way we want we need to stick to what we do and play with more desire to play forward. I want to help the players with that.
"The results always count but I have to see beyond the result, I have to see what we need to do better to get a complete performance. This is something I discuss with the players and I think we're going to be able to do it.
"It's totally normal [the fans] are questioning me but I think I showed them that we can do better, I showed them the direction I want to go.
"This is part of the job. I know where we are now, I know where we want to go and I really believe we're going to be able to click and move forward.
"It's not the fans' job to be patient but I tell them I am still working and I know what we want to do.
"I am strong. We are judged on results, I know my job regarding that. I try to go beyond the results and beyond winning. We have to win to give confidence, to buy time, I know that but I am going beyond that.
"I think we are a bit fragile at this moment but my job is to give them confidence and move forward.
"The feeling that I have is that when things don't go the way we want we are struggling, this is totally normal. I have to help the players to be more confident."
When asked if he has any regrets about the timing of taking the job, Nancy replies: "No, I'm not like that.
"I know why I'm here, I'm happy to be here and I'm happy to be here at this moment. This is not a problem for me."

For half an hour in the first half, Celtic looked good, full of running, but they were devoid of belief in the second half.
St Mirren absolutely neutralised them.
Stephen Robinson out-managed Wilfried Nancy hands down with a tiny fraction of the Celtic budget.

"I really believe we are going to click and move forward," says Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy.
"We attacked in waves and waves in the first half and that is what we want to do.

"I am happy to be here at this moment. I accept the challenge."
We'll have a bit more from the Celtic boss shortly...

St Mirren midfielder Keanu Baccus tells BBC Scotland: "I feel amazing, I can't remember the last trophy I won. I'm lost for words.
"I left Australia and came here and it's been such a big grind. I'm just so glad I came back to the club.
"The fans are amazing, they're like a 12th man. I thank the club, God, my family. I'm just so proud of everyone involved.
"We played with no fear, all faith. We didn't crumble when they scored.
"This is up there with [playing at] the World Cup, for sure."

Stephen Robinson reveals that striker Mikael Mandron, who scored two in the semi-final win over Motherwell, called him up to report feeling ill this morning, forcing a change to the starting XI.
"For him to be that honest on a day like this shows the level of the guy and how much he loves the club," he says.
It is astonishing that the Celtic board chose a man who has never managed in Europe and only played 26 games in the French League - NONE of them in the top flight! Then he is given three vital games to manage for Celtic! This is the board's responsibility.

Long-term Celtic fan here. I’ve never commented before, but I feel compelled to speak up. I have no malice towards Nancy and would like to see him given time; however, enough is enough from this board.
At the most crucial point of the season, they replaced a proven, winning manager — one who had the fans onside and a team that believed in itself — with an unknown quantity.
Everyone could see what the sensible option was: keep O’Neill until January, bring Nancy in behind the scenes, allow him time to assess the squad, and identify the players he needs to make his system work.
Stephen
Credit to St Mirren and any football supporter should applaud them. The most important thing to any football club is the trophy cabinet and always great to see the underdogs win one. It's great for Scottish football overall.

It's very nostalgic. Although it was 12 or 13 years ago, I was down there doing the same thing with my kids when they were wee.
You can't describe the feeling, it's just magnificent.
For the manager - three consecutive top six finishes and now lifting a trophy, he'll get the freedom of the town.

St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson tells Premier Sports: "I'm delighted for the players.
"I thought we started really brightly but sat back too much after we went in front.
"Sometimes you get it right and we got it right today.
"When you're working in Scotland people don't realise the disparity between the clubs.
"To have some sort of silverware, to beat a team of Celtic's calibre, that's a team of top top players and my team stood up to that."

St Mirren captain Mark O'Hara tells Premier Sports: "It's so special.
"From the moment I came here it's been nothing but joy, so to cap it off with a cup is amazing.
"It's been a frustrating and worrying time, I didn't know if I was going to make it [after an injury]. Just to be involved at all is so special.
"There were nearly a few tears in the pre-match build up but the fans are who we do it for."

Wilfried Nancy suffers third defeat in a row since taking over at Celtic
St Mirren sensationally roared to Premier Sports Cup victory by stunning beleaguered holders Celtic in a frenetic Hampden final.
Goals from Marcus Fraser and a second-half Jonah Ayunga double did the damage against Wilfried Nancy's shell-shocked side as the Paisley club claimed the Scottish League Cup for only the second time in their history.
Having become the first manager of the Parkhead club to lose his first two games in charge – against Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts and Europa League heavweights Roma – Nancy was already staring at a must-win game on his maiden trip to Mount Florida.
His troubled side could not have got off to a worse start as former Celtic player Marcus Fraser towered above a dire defence to head home inside the opening two minutes.
St Mirren's motto has been "faith over fear" as they eyed a first success in this competition since their only win in 2013 against Hearts, when they beat Celtic in the semi-final, and few encapsulated that more than energetic striker Dan Nlundulu.
The powerful forward rag-dolled a ropey Celtic backline and had two gilt-edged opportunities to double his side's lead in their dominant opening 15 minutes, but he dilly-dallied the first and stroked wide with his second.
There was a concern the Saints would rue such golden chances against the champions.
The influential Kelechi Iheanacho was denied by a superb Shamal George save, but the St Mirren shot stopper could not do anything to deny Reo Hatate's back-post volley on the end of Kieran Tierney's terrific cross.
While the equaliser was deserved, Robinson got his men in at half-time level and regrouped to ready them for a special second-half performance.
Ayunga, who has experienced an at-times arduous spell at St Mirren, connected with a classy and creative Alex Gogic assist to restore the Paisley side's lead.
In the most recent of times, that would have sparked something with Celtic, but it seemed nothing could shake them into life in a sluggish second half as they stared at back-to-back cup final defeats this year.
Celtic could not rouse themselves and allowed for St Mirren to rubber stamp their dreamland day with a fantastic third on the counter as Ayunga crashed in the simplest of finishes to spark bedlam among those in black and white.
Robinson, who has established St Mirren as a top-six side over the last three seasons and taken them back to European football, said the one thing missing from his tenure was a deep cup run.
There have been near misses, he has experienced pain here at Hampden with previous club Motherwell, but this was third time lucky.
Though there wasn't anything lucky about St Mirren's success.
In the semi-final against Well, they were applauded for nullifying their signature neat play. Here, they sucked any potential space Celtic would have wished to exploit with relative ease.
Goalkeeper George came up clutch with a few fine stops, but even he must have been surprised at the little hassle he was dealt on such a day.
The biggest compliment that can be paid the Paisley side's way is they didn't shock Celtic. There was nothing surprising, it was all just sheer deserved stuff.
This is a squad who play together and for one another. Now, they'll celebrate together and for one another long into the night.
Togetherness is not a word that can be used in the same sentence as Celtic.
The way in which they started this monumental final was feeble. Swimming in mud, Fraser lifted off the Hampden turf to tower over Hatate.
While a fightback was somewhat mounted, it was never to the height required to hop the hurdle of a steely St Mirren.
The second-half display was so disjointed there was no notably moment that felt like "the moment".
It was a far cry from the performance put in last month against Rangers in the semi-final under Martin O'Neill. That was a game and result which some thought would start Celtic on the right track again.
But instead, weeks later, they're trudging through uncharted and choppy waters gasping for air. And everyone is watching on with a flashlight in their face.
Last month, Shaun Maloney was doing the dirty work in the dugout alongside O'Neill. For the final, he was tucked up the back among the Celtic board - who were once again not missed by the exasperated supporters.
Former Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart suggested Nancy didn't know what he'd walked into in the wake of the defeat to Roma.
As time ticked on at Hampden, having switched between a nonchalant man and a frantic figure, he cut a lonely and lost look as the worst week imaginable for a Celtic manager came to its head.
St Mirren hero Jonah Ayunga tells BBC Scotland: "Amazing. We met the fans at the calendar signing this week and this was all they spoke about.
"To get the chance to play in this, let alone win it and score, I couldn't imagine it any better.
"Not a bad day's work, eh?
"This is once in a lifetime. I've been playing since I was 17, I'm nearly 30, this was the first time I had a chance to win anything."
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson: "I'm delighted for everyone involved - staff, players. We've got a fantastic group of boys.
"When you speak to people in England, you get top six finishes, they don't understand the parameters, or the disparity of the league. If you're down in England, you've always got a chance because of the amount of games the budgets aren't that drastically different.
"There is a huge disparity here so for us to get a trophy, a small club like St Mirren, to do it in the manner we did... I'm so pleased for the boys."
Reaction to St Mirren's heroic day
Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy tells BBC Scotland: "I saw good things but it wasn't enough to win the game. We are struggling, conceded a few goals from set pieces. We had to come from behind, we saw a good reaction. We had many opportunities inside the box to be better.
"When things don't go the way we want we need to stick to what we do and play with more desire to play forward. I want to help the players with that.
"The results always count but I have to see beyond the result, I have to see what we need to do better to get a complete performance. This is something I discuss with the players and I think we're going to be able to do it.
