St Mirren v Celtic Sun 25th Aug

[faraway saint]

After a tough spell the last thing we need is to come up against a Celtic side who have hit the ground running.

A reminder this is a 12:00 kick off.

Prediction.......................I'll leave that till nearer the time. 

[Churchill]

This is of cause the toughest home match all season, every season... BUT with fighting spirit at the same level as we showed in Bergen and the margins on our side, I am confident that we could get a good result. Think what a burst it'd be if we actually won this. 

[Helmettroll]

Would rather fast forward to the next fixture, can see them doing an invisible treble this year, there miles in front of everyone..

I'm glad I'm not likely to see this. 🤣

Even Celtics are going to slip on some banana peels this season. So, start peeling. 

[Saint@Johnstone]

Celtic are ruining the game here, miles ahead of everyone else, even Rangers. The amount of money they have, and continue to amass, means they could buy any player here that they might want. They can attract ten times the fans we can and even a dropped point is seen as a disaster. If we are lucky, we might beat them once in 20 attempts. Would be good if Sunday was one of them. I very much doubt it, however.

I think we can leave this "Celtic are his team" shite to the side.

It doesn't change the fact he's a grade-A walloper.

The December game at home to Hearts has been brought forward to 21 St September.

Not exactly on topic but.

Makes sense. It gives both teams a free midweek and a game less in what is a time of year where fixture pile ups can happen due to weather.

Latest odds, not very tempting TBH as Celtic are, already, looking pretty decent this season.

A plus side , no O’ Riley tomorrow.

Looking forward to my 2nd game of the season. Not confident, hope we give ourselves a chance by playing to our capabilities with a sensible press on the defence, and effective counters. If we lose a goal, don't lose the head and concede a couple quickly.

Don’t lose a goal in the first 30 seconds and it’s ours for the taking

Afraid I have to agree with most folk on here. Celtic are miles ahead of everyone else in the league in the quality of their players. Can't see us  getting much out of the game, but hope that the week's rest after a busy start to the season might help us.

Heart says 'Let's get an astonishing draw'. Head says ' Keep the score respectable'.

Gonna be a tough ‘ol shift .  I think it could be the latter of your predictions . 

[Churchill]

Today everything is about getting a good result and delivering a decent performance. No one expects a win towards the best team in Scotland. Nevertheless, we are hopeful and you never know with this team. Go Saints!!

We've slipped to 9/1, quite big odds considering we're at home.
