Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Celtic will be aiming to clinch top position in the Premiership standings when they face St. Mirren on Sunday morning. The Celtics head into the “matinee” clash following a win over Rangers in the League Cup final, and they are now on a quest to get their job done in the national championship. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Japan forward Kyogo Furuhashi, who scored a brace in the Old Firm derby, while David Turnbull remains on the sidelines with injury.
The Saints, on the other hand, aim to stay in top six, but given Celtic’s brilliant winning run, we do not believe that Stephen Robinson’s troops are capable of claiming a major scalp in the Scottish Premier League round 28. When the two teams met in the Scottish Cup last month Celtic hammered St. Mirren 5-1 at Celtic Park. All Declan Gallagher, Scott Tanser, Alex Greive, and Jonah Ayunga, and Richard Tait are injured for the hosts.
Highlighted Player (Aaron Mooy):
Aaron Mooy is an Australian footballer who playes for Huddersfield Town as a midfielder. Mooy was born in Sydney on September 15, 1990 and at the age of 16 he joined English club Bolton Wanderers. The midfielder played for the youth team of Bolton from 2006 to 2009, but he did not make his first-team debut for the club.
In 2010 he joined St. Mirren and after scoring one goal in 21 appearances in the league for the Scottish outfit, Aaron Mooy returned to Australia, signing a contract with Western Sydney Wanderers. In 2014 he joined fellow Australian club Melbourne City and two years later he decided to return to England. Aaron Mooy signed a three-year deal with Manchester City in June, 2016, but he was immediately sent on loan to Championship side Huddersfield Town.
In the summer of 2015 the Australia international joined the Terriers on a permanent basis. His main position is central midfield, but he can play as both defensive and attacking midfielder as well.
Highlighted Team (St Mirren):
St Mirren are Scottish football club that compete in the Scotland Premier League. Founded in 1877, the Buddies play home games at St Mirren Park. The venue, which was built in 2009, can hold up to 8,000 spectators.
St Mirren are well known for their white and black home kit, while black and violet are the dominant colours of their away kit. The Scottish club played their first match against Johnstone Britannia on October 6, 1877, winning the game by one goal to nil. St Mirren have a bitter rivalry with Greenock Morton, and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two clubs.
The Buddies recorded their biggest win on January 30, 1960, with the team crushing Glasgow University 15-0 in the Scottish Cup. David McCrae is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 221 league goals. St Mirren have won the Scotland Premiership three times (1925/26, 1958/59, 1986/87).
