An inspection of their past head to head meetings stretching back to 18/05/2024 shows that these encounters have been disappointments for St Mirren. They’ve not been able to come away with any victories at all whereas Celtic have just been stronger than them, winning in 83% of those games played.

🗞️ Team News: St Mirren

It looks as if The Buddies may well opt for a 3-5-2 formation for the game with Shamal George, Marcus Fraser, Richard King, Miguel Freckleton, Jayden Richardson, Killian Phillips, Keanu Baccus, Liam Donnelly, Declan John, Dan Nlundulu and Mikael Mandron.

📰 Team News: Celtic

Celtic boss Martin O'Neill has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Kelechi Iheanacho (Hamstring injury), Cameron Carter-Vickers (Achilles tendon problems), Marcelo Saracchi (Hamstring injury), Alistair Johnston (Hamstring muscle injury), Callum Osmand (Hamstring muscle injury) and Jota (Cruciate ligament surgery) are those who can’t be considered.

We’re of the thinking that The Bhoys could decide to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup with a starting lineup of Kasper Schmeichel, Tony Ralston, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales, Kieran Tierney, Luke McCowan, Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate, Sebastian Tounekti, Johnny Kenny and Daizen Maeda.

💡 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that St Mirren have the ability to put one past this Celtic team, but one goal probably won’t quite be enough to avoid a loss.

We can see a close game with a 1-2 advantage for Celtic at the end of the match. Should be a good one.
