Celtic vs St Mirren: TV, live stream, team news, match officials and highlights details for Scottish Premiership clash

Scottish champions Celtic will be aiming to bounce back form their first league defeat in almost eight months when they entertain St Mirren at Parkhead on Saturday.

Ange Postecoglou’s side currently boast an impressive unbeaten home record in the Premiership so far this season, winning 17 of their 17 matches on home soil. In contrast, the Buddies have claimed just three top-flight wins on their travels to date but they did manage to beat the Hoops back in September.

A 3-0 defeat to fierce Old Firm rivals Rangers at Ibrox last weekend proved a rare blip in what has been another excellent campaign for the Parkhead club. They looked off-colour from the outset and found themselves two goals down inside the openng 34 minutes.

Nevetheless, Celtic have already retained the league title and remain 10 points clear of second-placed Rangers with three games left to play. Surpassing the 100-points total is surely the next short-term target for Postecoglou’s men after accumulating 95 from 35 games.

They have thrashed St Mirren 14-1 on aggregate in their previous three meetings and the Paisley outfit are looking to stop the rot following a run of three successive losses and one draw in their last four matches having blown a 2-0 lead against Hearts in their last outing.

That slump in form has dealt a serious blow to Saints slim chances of qualifying for Europe. They haven’t defeated Celtic twice in the same season since 1989/90.
