Player to watch: Kieran Tierney
Finally, the prodigal son returns, as Kieran Tierney penned a deal with Celtic, his boyhood team. At the age of 28, he still has plenty of good years ahead of him, and we are sure that the former Gunner will do just fine to prove our top Celtic vs St. Mirren predictions correct.
Tierney eager to establish himself at Celtic Park
Despite being a left-back, Tierney scored a goal in the 2024/25 Premier League campaign for Arsenal. Surely, he will be among coach Brendan Rodgers’ starters against point-hungry St. Mirren. Tierney will do his best to help Celtic win yet another Scottish Premiership title this season.
