Celtic v St Mirren: Pick of the stats

Celtic have won seven of their last eight meetings with St Mirren in all competitions (D1) since a 2-0 defeat in September 2022. Indeed, the Hoops have already beaten the Buddies four times this season; only in 1990-91 (5) have they ever won more against them in a single campaign.

St Mirren have won just one of their last 35 visits to Celtic in all competitions (D3 L31), a 2-1 victory in January 2021 under Jim Goodwin.

Celtic have only lost their final league game (incl. curtailed 2019-20 season) in one of their last 16 seasons (W13 D2), going down 1-0 to Aberdeen in 2017-18. They have also won in each of the last four occasions that their last league match of a campaign was against St Mirren.

St Mirren are winless and goalless in the final match of their last three league seasons (D2 L1), losing their final game 3-0 to Rangers last term.

Celtic have been crowned 2023-24 Scottish Premiership champions, meaning they have won the league title in 12 of the last 13 seasons – including all four in which Brendan Rodgers has been in charge (including 2018-19 when he left mid-season).

Celtic’s Matt O’Riley has been directly involved in 30 Scottish Premiership goals this season (17 goals, 13 assists), the most by a player in a single campaign since Leigh Griffiths in 2015-16 (36 – 31 goals, 5 assists).
