Scottish Championship league leaders Celtic welcome St. Mirren at the Celtic Park with the former looking to extend the gap at the summit while the latter is vying to reach the second position in the table.
Reigning Scottish champions Celtic have once again looked like the team to beat in Scotland's first division as they extended their winning streak to 10 games with eight wins and two draws. Despite their massive struggles in the Champions League, the Scottish heavyweights are touted to remain unbeaten with a victory over their rivals. Brendan Rodgers' men would look to avoid a repeat of their previous toothless draw against Hibernian as they look to strengthen their position at the top.
After finishing just behind the top-5 in the 2022/23 campaign, St. Mirren have defied all odds this term as they continue their pursuit of two of the biggest Scottish powerhouses. While Celtic might be currently racing away with league, St. Mirren have closed the gap to second-placed Rangers to just three points with the former boasting of a game in hand. Three wins and a draw from their previous five games perfectly sums up how dominant they have been but facing Celtic in the latter's backyard will not be a cakewalk for them as they look to etch a fairytale for the history books.
