Match preview

Celtic should be too strong for St Mirren in Paisley, but they are unlikely to batter the Buddies.

The Hoops haven't been at their best recently and will have one eye on the Old Firm showdown on Sunday. But they will need to be sharp to break through a St Mirren side who are usually well-organised.

Jim Goodwin's men have plenty of fighting spirit and although they tend not to score many goals, they are usually involved in tight games.

Celtic keep winning - they have chalked up 15 victories out of 16 and the exception came when they fielded a shadow side in the Europa League. But they have not been hammering teams and they would settle for any kind of victory in this game.

Key stat

Celtic have not scored more than two goals in any of their last six games.
