Last Saturday St Mirren were knocked out of the Premier Sports Cup by Livingston after a penalty shoot-out. In the league they drew their opening match away to Dundee before losing 2-1 at home to Hearts.
Celtic will be hoping to have Ryan Christie available again after missing the last two matches through injury, Willie Collum will be in charge with a win almost certain to send Celtic to the top of the SPFL table ahead of Sunday’s fixtures.
