Overview
- The Premiership fixture will be played at St Mirren Park with an 8pm BST kick‑off on Saturday and live coverage on Sky Sports Football.
- Celtic lead the Scottish Premiership after four wins from four while St Mirren sit second with ten points from four matches, making this a top‑of‑the‑table meeting.
- Martin O'Neill is missing several defenders — including Kieran Tierney, Kasper Høgh, Callum Osmand, Alistair Johnston and loanee Landon Emenalo — which leaves Liam Scales likely to fill in at left‑back.
- Late signings Joël van den Berg and Jordan Lotomba are available for selection and Viljami Sinisalo is expected to start in goal in a predicted XI circulated by reporters.
- Celtic's Champions League playoff exit to LASK means Europa League fixtures will increase the schedule load and make rotation decisions forced by current injuries more consequential for the coming weeks.
