Match preview

A top-of-the-table Premiership clash sees league leaders Celtic travel to face second-placed ST Mirren. Both clubs have enjoyed positive starts to their domestic campaigns, with Celtic holding a perfect record of four wins from four matches, scoring 11 goals and conceding just twice.

ST Mirren sit closely behind with 10 points from their opening four league fixtures, having recorded three wins and a draw. However, their most recent home outing produced a high-scoring 3-3 draw against Motherwell, highlighting potential vulnerabilities in defence when tested by potent attacking sides.

Celtic have dominated this fixture in recent history, winning eight of the last ten head-to-head meetings across all competitions. With attacking contributors such as C. Durán, B. Nygren and K. Høgh each having scored three goals this season, the visitors carry substantial firepower into this matchup.

Celtic enter this fixture at the summit of the table having won all four of their league games with a plus nine goal difference. Historical encounters heavily favour Celtic, who have claimed victory in eight of the past ten meetings between the two sides. While ST Mirren remain unbeaten in league play with ten points from four games, Celtic's offensive record of 2.8 goals per match and strong historical superiority make them well positioned to secure at least a point on the road.
