Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
St. Mirren will try to claim a major scalp in the Premier League round 3 when they take on league leaders Celtic at their SMISA Stadium. The Saints are on a three-game losing run in all competitions, but, one thing is for sure, they are going to leave their hearts on the field. Both Conor McMenamin and Greg Kiltie are sidelined with injuries for the home side.
The Hoops, on the other hand, aim to keep their 100% record intact, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. As Celtic have defeated St. Mirren in each of the previous five meetings between the two sides in all competitions, away win should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be fit-again attacker Daizen Maeda, who scored a brace in the League Cup triumph over Hibernian, while there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Celtic):
The Celtic Football Club boasts a proud over 100-year long history which has made The Bhoys a global brand thanks to their unprecedented social awareness that dates to the very beginnings of this Scottish club. Celtic was founded in 1887 with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the immigrant Irish population in the East End of Glasgow by raising money to help their fellow citizens.
The charity legacy continues to this day with Celtic still preserving their charitable traditions through the Celtic FC Foundation. The Celts play their home matches at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 people. One of the two most successful football clubs in Scotland with 47 Scottish League Championship titles to their name, Celtic have a long-standing fierce rivalry with Rangers, with the clubs known as the Old Firm.
European Cup winners from season 1966-67 and runners-up two years later, Celtic have been regular in European competitions since their first appearance in 1962-63. Their other most standout results have been runners-up in the EUFA Cup in 2003 and Intercontinental Cup in 1967.
