Over 2.5 Celtic Goals
Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou will be demanding an instant response from his troops following last week’s disappointing derby showing against Rangers (0-3) and St. Mirren could be the unwilling punchbags when they take on a Hoops side with demons to exorcise on Saturday. Champions Celtic notched a whopping 14 times in their last three encounters with The Buddies and they have the right combination of firepower and motivation to put at least three goals past St. Mirren for the fourth time in a row.
Kyogo Furuhashi
Kyogo Furuhashi still has work to do to ensure he finishes the campaign with the Golden Boot and the Celtic striker can add to his 23-goal-haul for the season with another effort against St. Mirren on Saturday. The 28-year-old has notched three times in his last four Premiership appearances and his finishing skills are deadly enough to make him a worthy addition to your coupons. With that in mind, we finish our Celtic vs St. Mirren predictions with a recommendation to back Furuhashi in the anytime goalscorer market.

Celtic vs St. Mirren Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Celtic vs St. Mirren lineups and team news for Saturday’s Premiership contest below.
Celtic
Stephen Welsh, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Alistair Johnston and James McCarthy are all currently sidelined with injuries for Celtic. The Bhoys were well-beaten at Rangers (0-3) last time out and though Celtic clinched the title ahead of their rivals, the manner of that defeat would have hurt.
Predicted Lineup for Celtic: Hart – Ralston, Starfelt, Kobayashi, Bernabei – O'Riley, McGregor, Hatate – Abada, Jota, Furuhashi
St. Mirren
Tony Watt and Richar Tait are both out of action for St. Mirren at present. The Buddies threw away a two-goal lead against Hearts last weekend and eventually shared the spoils following a 2-2 draw with The Jambos. St. Mirren lost three games on the spin before that.
Predicted Lineup for St. Mirren: Carson – Strain, Fraser, Shaughnessy, Taylor, Tanser – Kiltie, Gogic, O'Hara – Main, Greive
Player to Watch – Liel Abada
Israeli attacker Liel Abada was on song when Celtic beat St. Mirren 5-1 in March, coming off the bench to lodge a goal and an assist in what proved a one-sided contest. Abada is in line to start on Saturday and the 21-year-old will be determined to make his mark against The Buddies again.
Starting Lineups
Official lineups are usually released approximately one hour before kick-off.
