Command Analysis
Celtic
ScotlandCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Celtic were considered the main, and perhaps the only, contender for the championship title, significantly surpassing all competitors in class. So far, Brendan Rodgers' team has justified this status without the slightest problem, leading the table with 50 points. The Celts have already broken away from the second-placed Rangers by 11 points, Aberdeen has 16 points less - there is a chance to win the championship title long before the end of the championship. Having lost 0:3 to Rangers on the last morning, Celtic suffered their first defeat in the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Forrest and Holm are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Celtic have suffered just one defeat in 19 matches this season
- Celtic have beaten St Mirren in their last six games
Probable line-up: Schmeichel - Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor - Bernardo, McGregor, Hatate - Kyun, Furuhashi, Maeda.
St. Mirren
ScotlandCurrent form
For objective reasons, St Mirren were unable to set the most ambitious goals for themselves, and a place in the top six before the championship began was the ultimate dream for Stephen Robinson team. However, for now, the Saints look more than worthy and occupy fifth place in the table with 27 points, two points ahead of seventh-placed Hibernian. In the last round, St Mirren lost 0:2 to Kilmarnock, thus suffering their second defeat in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their lineup.
Interesting trends for betting
- St Mirren have lost their last two matches
- St Mirren have scored in four of their last five matches
Tentative line-up: Balcombe - Gogic, Jacovitti, Taylor - Fraser, Phillips, Smith, Tancer - Idowu, Olusanya, Ayunga.

3.49Tip and bets
After the defeat in the derby, Celtic will clearly be full of desire to rehabilitate themselves and will certainly put serious pressure on their opponents from the first minutes. St. Mirren have not scored any points in the last two matches, and are significantly inferior to their opponents in class, the visitors have little chance of success. It is unlikely that the favorites will have serious problems with a confident victory, and given the need to please the fans after the failure in the derby, the likelihood of a rout is very high.
We think that the visitors have no chance. Forecast - Asian handicap (-2.5) on Celtic . This bet is offered with odds of 1.89
Bet on total
Celtic are the undisputed favourites of the match and will probably attack with great force from the first minutes. It is obvious that St Mirren defence will not hold out today and there is a high probability that the visitors will concede a lot. At the same time, the Saints have been playing very adventurously this season and regularly score, and the visitors will probably take a risk today and their goal will not be a big sensation.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 2.35
Bet on corners
Celtic are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-6) on corners for Celtic. This bet is offered for 1.89
