Celtic vs St Mirren live stream: how to watch Scottish Premiership clash on TV and online

Celtic are in for another tough encounter when they play host to in-form St Mirren at Parkhead on Wednesday night in their latest Scottish Premiership test.

The Hoops have enjoyed a strong start to the season but they faltered slightly at Easter Road on Saturday, drawing 0-0 with Hibernian to ensure the gap at the top of the table was reduced to five points with closest challengers Rangers beating Hearts.

Brendan Rodgers’ side produced a lethargic performance in the capital and the Northern Irishman will be eyeing a much-improved display against the Buddies who occupy third spot after their returnin to winning ways against strugglers St Johnstone (4-0) last time out.

The Scottish champions will be fully focused on maintaining their advantage at the summit by keeping their foot firmly on the peddle but Stephen Robinson’s vistors have been in flying form of late, unbeaten in eight of their opening nine matches and tasting just one defeat at the hands of second-placed Rangers.

Both sides played out an entertaining 2-2 draw back in May at the end of last season and Saints have certainly shown their quality throughout the campaign and will be a tough nut for Celtic to crack.

The Canadian was back in training on Monday, but he could be rested as a precaution for this game. Marco Tilio, Liel Abada and Stephen Welsh (back in light training) remain absent.

St Mirren boss Robinson has a decision to make over who to start on the right-hand side with utility man Ryan Strain back available after serving a recent suspension for the red card picked up against Rangers. Mikael Mandron is likely to continue leading the line in the absence of Jonah Ayunga.
