St Mirren vs Celtic Prediction and Betting Tips 5 September 2026

St. Mirren will be hoping to claim a major scalp when reigning champions Celtic arrive at the SMiSA Stadium on Saturday evening. The Saints edged past Kilmarnock 1-0 last time out, allowing only 0.43 xG in a disciplined display. They have also won 50% of their last 10 home matches, scoring 2.00 goals per game. With no fresh injury concerns, Craig McLeish is unlikely to make changes to the side that secured three points against Kilmarnock.

Celtic, meanwhile, continue their title defence after cruising to a 3-0 victory over Aberdeen. Camilo Duran has been one of the standout performers since arriving in the summer, scoring goals regularly and leading the line with confidence. The Hoops have won 60% of their last 10 matches and average 2.30 goals per game, while they have dominated this fixture historically, winning 32 of the last 40 meetings. Kasper Hogh remains sidelined.

As Celtic have won 80% of the last 40 H2H meetings, our main prediction firmly points toward Away Win, alongside Celtic Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (this landed in 63% of the last 40 encounters).

This Scottish Premiership match will be played on Saturday 5 September 2026 at 20:00.
