The date for Celtic’s Fifth Round Scottish Cup clash against St Mirren has been confirmed for Saturday 11th of February.
And supporters will be in for a later Saturday afternoon kick-off time, with the match getting underway at 5:30 PM.
The Bhoys made a strong start to their campaign in this cup competition, seeing off Scottish Championship side Greenock Morton.
Goals from Kyogo Furuhashi (x2), Aaron Mooy (x2) and David Turnbull helped the Hoops on their way to a comfortable 5-0 win.
The draw for the next round saw Ange Postecoglou’s side pitted against Stephen Robinson and his St Mirren team.
The Paisley side came through the last round after being held to a 0-0 draw at home to Scottish Championship opposition in Dundee. But they were victorious in the penalty shootout.
The Buddies’ last trip to Celtic Park came just last week, as the Bhoys ran out 4-0 winners on the night in the Scottish Premiership, putting in a strong performance.
The Celtic manager will be hoping for more of the same at the beginning of next month as he eyes up a place in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup.
However, St Mirren have shown the threat they can pose for the Hoops and are currently the only domestic team to have defeated Postecoglou’s side this season.
So, the former Socceroos boss will know that his players have to be right up for this game if they want to find themselves in the hat for the next round.
Celtic vs St Mirren clash selected for TV.
Fortunately for supporters who cannot make it along to the game, taking place on the 11th of February, it is also one of four clashes selected to be shown on television.
The Hoops next Scottish Cup outing at Paradise will be live on Viaplay Sports.
The channel, previously known as Premier Sports, will be showing selected matches in the Scottish and League Cup in Scotland, and Celtic’s fixture with St Mirren is one of their two chosen matches.
Celtic supporters have experienced a few late Saturday afternoon kick-offs in the last few years. Most recently, the Bhoys cup semi-final with Kilmarnock at Hampden started at 5:30 PM.
And next month, we will be doing it all over again, this time in the East End of Glasgow, in the Fifth Round of the other cup competition.
As always, Ange Postecoglou will be keen to put on a performance at Celtic Park as he eyes up a quarter-finals spot.
