Recent respective form guides

St. Mirren's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. Buddies have conceded a disappointing 6 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 2 of their own chances.

Celtic's away form is none too clever either, coming away with three points on 3 occasions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 11 goals for the The Bhoys, and 5 goals against.

St. Mirren see themselves just below half way in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier, showing a record of 6 points from their 4 games played so far, Celtic sit in a healthy 2nd in the league, and have picked up 10 points from their 4 games.
