Celtic and St. Mirren bring their 2023-24 Scottish Premiership campaign to an end when they lock horns at Celtic Park on Saturday. Brendan Rodgers’ men head into the weekend with the thrill from clinching the league title still in the air and will look to close out the campaign on a high.
High-flying Celtic secured the Premiership crown on Wednesday when they stormed to a 5-0 victory over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.
Rodgers’ side have now won their last six games across all competitions and are unbeaten in 10 back-to-back matches, claiming nine wins and one draw since March’s 2-0 defeat at Hearts.
This blistering run of results has also seen Celtic book their spot in the final of the Scottish Cup, where they will lock horns with arch-rivals Rangers on May 25.
