Celtic will look to keep the pressure on title rivals Hearts and Rangers when they welcome St Mirren to Parkhead on Saturday (kick-off: 3pm).
Having cut league leaders Hearts’ lead to three points with a late 2-1 win at Dundee last weekend, Martin O’Neill’s men have a chance to leapfrog Rangers into second with a win due to their Glasgow rivals playing 24 hours later away to Falkirk.
Their relegation-threatened visitors will enter the game with boosted confidence, though, having pulled clear of the relegation playoff spot with a huge 2-0 win against Aberdeen last weekend.
Ahead of the game at Parkhead, The Scotsman has all the latest team news.
