Celtic

WWLWLW

Celtic come into this clash after a 5-1 Premiership win to beat Kilmarnock in their last fixture.

For Celtic, the goalscorers were Reo Hatate (9', 24'), Daizen Maeda (11'), Cameron Carter-Vickers (21') and Anthony Ralston (93'). Daniel Armstrong (29') scored for Kilmarnock.

Proving their penchant for high-scoring encounters, goals have been seen as many as 24 times in the last six matches in which Celtic have taken to the pitch, giving an average of 4 goals for each meeting. Opposition teams have got 7 of those goals. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be continued into this next game, of course.

ℹ️ Team News: Celtic

Due to a mostly available squad, there is only the lone fitness worry for the Celtic gaffer Brendan Rodgers to be concerned about. Liam Scales (Facial injury) misses out for this game.

💡 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Celtic have the ability to have the majority of the possession and should turn some of their chances into goals.

In contrast, St Johnstone will not find it easy scoring but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be hitting back at some stage here, too.

Our tip is for a 1-3 winning margin for Celtic at full-time.
