All the early team news ahead of Celtic v St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership at Parkhead this weekend

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.
