In this week 8 match on the 18th of September, Celtic and St. Mirren will play a match in Greenhill Road in a Premiership match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. St. Mirren sits at 6th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 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 In the end, St. Mirren was frustrated by St. Johnstone’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. St. Johnstone ended the match with the shutout victory. St. Mirren is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches, while celtic is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Shakhtar Donetsk. Artem Bondarenko scored the first goal for Celtic on an own goal in the 10th minute, but Mykhailo Mudryk got the equalizer for Shakhtar Donetsk in the 29th minute earning Shakhtar Donetsk a comeback draw. 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.
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 prolific scorer on St. Mirren in the last 5 matches with two goals.
