Celtic vs St Mirren Prediction & Betting Tips
Sunday | 15:30 UTC | Celtic Park | Scottish Premiership – Matchday 1
Celtic kick off their quest for a fifth straight SPFL Premiership crown with a home clash against St Mirren, but uncertainty clouds the Hoops’ opener. A shock Scottish Cup Final defeat to Aberdeen and muted summer transfer business have left fans restless, while Brendan Rodgers enters the final year of his contract without committing his long-term future.
Despite off-field noise, Celtic’s squad still stands a level above the competition, and Rangers may need time to settle under new boss Russell Martin after their summer rebuild.
Celtic vs St Mirren Prediction
St Mirren enter this fixture on a high after a 2-1 League Cup win over Ayr. Stephen Robinson’s side has become a consistent top-six Premiership outfit and has shown they can trouble the Old Firm.
Celtic, however, are heavy favourites to start strong. The Hoops have won eight of the last nine head-to-heads and boast attacking firepower through last season’s standout Daizen Maeda.
Celtic vs St Mirren Prediction & Odds
Celtic are priced at 1.16 to claim three points, while St Mirren are 15.00 outsiders. A draw is listed at 7.00.
Celtic vs St Mirren Tips
✅ Over 11.5 Corners – 1.87
✅ Daizen Maeda Anytime Scorer – 2.00
Maeda’s relentless energy and 34-goal tally for club and country last season make him a prime pick to score. Expect plenty of attacking pressure from Celtic, with Tierney’s forward runs adding assist potential. Corners could also stack up against a deep-lying St Mirren defence.
Celtic vs St Mirren Predicted Lineups
Celtic: Schmeichel; Ralston, Trusty, Scales, Tierney; McGregor, Hatate, Nygren; Forrest, Maeda, Idah
St Mirren: George; King, Gogic, Fraser, Richardson; O’Hara, John, Taylor, Phillips, Idowu, Mandron
