St Mirren close out 2024/25 with our Euro hopes going to the final day when we face Celtic at Celtic Park.
Saints came from behind to draw 2-2 with Hibernian on Wednesday night. But we remain a point behind Dundee United who occupy the final European spot heading into the last day.
Stephen Robinson's side must better Dundee United's result if they want to ensure qualification for the UEFA Conference League. However, a win for the Arabs at home to Aberdeen on Saturday would render any Saints result moot in the race for that final spot.
Tickets for Saturday's match are completely sold out.
Match Details
Celtic v St Mirren
Competition: William Hill Premiership
Date: Saturday 17th May 2025
Kick-off: 12:30pm
Venue: Celtic Park
The Opposition
Celtic officially clinched the title in the first post-split fixture following a 5-0 win over Dundee United at Tannadice. But in truth it's been a foregone conclusion for many months given Brendan Rodgers' side's lead in the William Hill Premiership.
The Hoops go into Saturday's match on the back of a 5-1 win away to Aberdeen on Wednesday night. That result followed a 3-1 victory at home to Hibernian on Saturday.
Celtic have been victorious in all three meetings between the sides this season. Brendan Rodgers' side were 3-0 winners on our last trip to Celtic Park back in January. A valiant effort from Saints in the previous meeting at The SMiSA Stadium in March wasn't enough to take anything but the game was certainly closer than the 5-2 final scoreline suggests.
Our last win over Celtic came at The SMiSA Stadium in September 2022 when goals from Mark O'Hara and Jonah Ayunga saw us run out 2-0 victors. Our last win at Celtic Park was in January 2021 with goals from Kristian Dennis and Ilkay Durmus securing our first win in Parkhead since 1990.
