Latest Celtic vs St Mirren football review
Celtic remain the dominant force in Scottish football in the modern era, and that was confirmed once again last season when 'The Bhoys' won the double:Scottish PremiershipandScottish League Cup.
This national championship is the fourth consecutive time Celtic has won the championship, and coachBrendan Rodgersare aiming for a fifth consecutive title this season.
Despite a successful season, Celtic ended the season on a low note when they lost to Aberdeen on penalties in the semi-finals of the Scottish FA Cup. However, they quickly recovered their form in pre-season.
“The Bhoys” won 5/7 friendly matches, notably the victories againstSporting Lisbon (2-0)andNewcastle United (4-0).
They will now aim to continue that form and get off to a flying start in the Scottish Premiership when they hostSt Mirrenat homeCeltic Parkon Sunday afternoon.
On the away team side,St Mirrenspent a third consecutive season in the top six before relegation, ending that period just one point above seventh-placed Hearts – after finishing fifth in 2023–24 and sixth in 2022–23.
The Saints continued their impressive form after being grouped, remaining unbeaten in five games with two wins and three draws – although they still finished sixth.
That form was maintained in pre-season with three wins from three friendlies, and entered the new 2025–26 season with three wins and a draw in the Scottish League Cup group stage – only losing the draw 3–5 on penalties, thereby topping Group D.
CoachStephen RobinsonHopefully this impressive form will help his team create a surprise at Celtic Park.
