Celtic hosts St. Mirren at Celtic Park on Saturday in a Scottish Premiership clash.
The Hoops sit third in the league with 64 points from 32 outings, just three behind leaders Hearts. After falling 2–0 to Dundee United on March 22, they regrouped with a 2–1 win over Dundee FC on April 5. That victory helped them stay firmly in the title race alongside Hearts and Rangers, making every match crucial from here on.
Celtic team news
Martin O’Neill leads Celtic through a period filled with injuries. The defence is particularly stretched — Julian Araujo is out for the season along with Cameron Carter-Vickers (Achilles) while Colby Donovan (hamstring) also remains unavailable.
Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is still sidelined with a shoulder problem, so Viljami Sinisalo will once again take charge of the net.
In attack and midfield, Celtic continue to miss Jota, Callum Osmand, and Adam Montgomery.
There’s a bit of optimism about Alistair Johnston and Arne Engels, who returned to training recently, but O’Neill has hinted that this match comes too soon for them to start. As a result, Anthony Ralston and Auston Trusty are expected to feature in a reshuffled defensive lineup.
Celtic predicted lineup
Possible Celtic starting XI: Sinisalo; Ralston, Trusty, Scales, Tierney; McGregor, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Hyun-Jun, Nygren, Maeda; Cvancara
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 3pm BST on Saturday, 11th April.
