Celtic v St Mirren

Celtic vs St Mirren Preview

The action north of the border continues on Wednesday night in the Scottish Premiership with the early runaway league leaders, Celtic, taking on third placed St Mirren at Celtic Park with the hosts looking to further extend their lead at the top of the division with all three points while St Mirren will be keen to continue their promising start to this new domestic top flight campaign.

However, Celtic's impressive six-match winning streak was brought to an end on Saturday when they were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw away from home at Hibernian but The Hoops return to Celtic Park for Wednesday's clash where the hosts have still yet to taste defeat so far this season.

Three wins and a draw on home soil have contributed to Celtic's five-point buffer over second placed Rangers at the top of the Premiership table and includes victories collected against Ross County, Dundee and Kilmarnock while also picking up a point in a 0-0 draw with St Johnstone.

Celtic also possess what must be one of, if not the best, home records in the top flight of the major European leagues as the hosts are unbeaten in their last 48 home games along with keeping 28 clean sheets in the process!

After only just making it into the top six at the end of the regular season last term, Wednesday night's visitors, St Mirren, have produced a promising start to this new Scottish Premiership campaign as the visitors currently occupy third place in the domestic top flight table having suffered just the one defeat so far.

That loss came in the form of a heavy 3-0 defeat at home to Rangers but The Saints have registered five wins to offset that singular disappointment in the shape of victories over Hibernian, Dundee, Motherwell, Hearts and Saturday's comprehensive dismantling of St Johnstone, winning 4-0 at The SMISA Stadium.

St Mirren finished last season's campaign in the Championship group but failed to win any of their final seven games of the second phase, slipping to five defeats in the process, so this much improved start to this new season will have been very welcome indeed for St Mirren fans.

In addition, St Mirren still remain unbeaten on their travels having picked up points in draws at Livingston and Kilmarnock along with collecting wins on the road at Hibernian and Motherwell, but this unbeaten start is expected to come under heavy scrutiny at Celtic Park on Wednesday night.

Celtic v St Mirren Verdict

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Celtic have enjoyed the upper hand over their upcoming visitors, St Mirren, in recent previous exchanges as The Hoops are unbeaten in the last four meetings along with winning three of these encounters, so Celtic look set for further success here on Wednesday night.
