St Johnstone will be hoping their 2-1 victory over Hibernian can provide another boost as they prepare to host Celtic. The Saints have won 75% of their last four home matches, scoring 2.50 goals per game, while their home fixtures average 3.75 goals. James Gullan picked up a knock last time out, meaning Kai Fotheringham is likely to step into the attack. There are no other fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Wednesday's Premiership game.
Celtic, meanwhile, head into the match in confident mood after coming from behind to beat St Mirren 2-1, extending their excellent run to seven wins in their last eight matches. The champions have been particularly dangerous away from home, winning 75% of their last four road games and scoring 3.00 goals per match. Yang Hyun-Jun is unlikely to feature after picking up a knock, but Duran and Hasan should still provide plenty of firepower.
Given Celtic's superior form and H2H dominance, punters worldwide can find value in betting on Away Win, alongside Duran to Score and Over 2.5 goals total (63% of the last 48 H2H meetings produced at least three goals).
This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Wednesday 9 September 2026 at 20:00.
