Celtic will host St Mirren at Celtic Park on Wednesday in another round of the 2023-24 Scottish Premiership campaign.
The home side have had a very strong start to their league campaign and are laying down an early marker in the title race. They were, however, held to a goalless draw away at Hibernian last time out and perhaps deserved more from the game but failed to convert their chances after a dominant performance.
Celtic sit atop the Premiership standings with 26 points picked up so far. They are five points above rivals Rangers and will be looking to further widen that gap on Wednesday.
St Mirren have also performed well in the early stages of the season and are once again pushing for continental football. They handed out a 4-0 hiding to St Johnstone in their last match, with three different players getting on the scoresheet including summer arrival Mikael Mandron, who netted a second-half brace.
