Celtic take on St Mirren this weekend as Brendan Rodgers prepares his side for their first Scottish Premiership home match of 2025.
Following Celtic’s defeat against Rangers at Ibrox in midweek, all focus turns to their next task at home to Stephen Robinson’s outfit amid their pursuit of a top-six finish this campaign.
Last time out, the Buddies were beaten 2-0 away to Kilmarnock. They enter the New Year not out of the equation for European qualification should their Scottish Premiership momentum pick up over the next few months.
Brendan Rodgers will view this weekend’s affair as another opportunity to further Celtic’s double-digit advantage at the top of the table. Nevertheless, there is no room for complacency at Parkhead after a frustrating display at Ibrox.
