ℹ️ Team News: Celtic
There’s just a single fitness concern for the Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength group. Cameron Carter-Vickers (Knee Surgery) misses out.
We are thinking that The Bhoys may well use a 4-3-3 system and select Joe Hart, Anthony Ralston, Carl Starfelt, Tomoki Iwata, Greg Taylor, Matthew O'Riley, Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate, Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda and Jota.
🗞️ Team News: St Mirren
With a completely injury-free group to choose from, the St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson does not have any fitness concerns to speak of coming into this game.
We are inclined to think that The Buddies could decide to utilise a 5-3-2 formation using Trevor Carson, Marcus Fraser, Richard Taylor, Joe Shaughnessy, Ryan Strain, Thierry Small, Greg Kiltie, Alexandros Gogic, Mark O'Hara, Keanu Baccus and Curtis Main.
💭 Prediction
St Mirren should have enough to put one past this Celtic lineup, although it is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them.
We’re going for a very close game with a 2-1 winning score for Celtic by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Let’s see what happens here.
