Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Celtic will try to recover from a heart-breaking Old Firm derby loss (0-3) when they face St. Mirren on Matchday 22. The Hoops are leading the chase for the Premiership title and you should know that they are eyeing their ninth home win of the process. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but Norway midfielder Odin Thiago Holm remains in the recovery room. Former Norwich City striker Adam Idah is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
The Saints, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Dundee FC and Kilmarnock. Given St. Mirren’s three-game losing run at Celtic Park, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. There are no fresh injury concerns in the away team ahead of the trip to Glasgow, but fit-again midfielder Mark O'Hara could sneak into the starting line-up.
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.
