On Sun Sep 18th, St. Mirren will host Celtic at The Smisa Stadium in a meeting of these two closely matched Premiership teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, a perfect day for football. 6th placed St. Mirren is fresh off their 0-3 loss against St. Johnstone. Nicholas Clark struck first for St. Johnstone in the 26th minute on a feed from Stevie May, then Drey Wright added another in the 66th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed St. Mirren couldn’t manage to score, and St. Johnstone took the shutout win. St. Mirren is looking for direction having 3 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches, while celtic sits at 1st place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Shakhtar Donetsk. Artem Bondarenko struck first for Celtic on an own goal in the 10th minute on a feed from Reo Hatate, then Mykhailo Mudryk tied it up for Shakhtar Donetsk in the 29th minute squeezing out at least the one point for Shakhtar Donetsk. Celtic should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Celtic won the head to head battle with 2 wins and 1 draw.
Celtic is fortunate enough to have Abada in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 5 goals. Curtis Main has been the most effective weapon for St. Mirren lately. The English attacker has netted 2 goals in his last 5 matches.
