St. Mirren and Celtic square off in a Scottish Premiership matchday 29 fixture on Saturday at The SMISA Stadium.

Celtic, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a comfortable 5-1 home win over Aberdeen. They were 3-0 up at the break, thanks to goals from Daizen Maeda, Jota and Callum McGregor. Yang Hyun-Jun and Made scored either side of Shayden Morris's strike for Aberdeen in the second half.
