What channel is Celtic v St Mirren on? Kick-off time, TV and stream details, team news

Celtic host St Mirren on Wednesday night looking to bounce back following their goalless draw with Hibs at Easter Road on Sunday.

It was the first time the league leaders had dropped points since a 0-0 draw against their upcoming opponents in Paisley on December 22, with an eight-match winning sequence transforming a six-point deficit to Rangers into a three-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

Saints are under new management following the departure of Jim Goodwin and appointment of Stephen Robinson. The former Motherwell boss got off to a losing start on Saturday in a 2-0 home defeat to Hearts that saw his side play most of the match with 10 men after an early red card for Connor Ronan.

However, St Mirren remain strongly in contention in the race for fourth place and will fancy their chances of causing an upset at Celtic Park against an Ange Postecoglou side that has not been firing on all cylinders of late.
