5th placed St Mirren's 3-0 win over Aberdeen on 30th December was only their second from the last seven matches. The Buddies are five points above Hibernian in 6th but have played an additional two matches in their quest to improve on last season's top-six finish.
The Bhoys came out triumphant from last weekend's Old Firm derby despite a late surge from 10-man Rangers. Since exiting the Champions League and European football completely, Brendan Rodgers' side were immediately defeated by Hearts before recording three consecutive league victories.
St Mirren vs Celtic Tips
Rangers became the sixth team to breach the home side's defence at Celtic Park in the Scottish Premiership this season, joining Motherwell and Hibernian as the fourth visitor from the last five to have achieved this feat. Celtic's game with Hearts was the only occasion in which The Hoops did not strike back on home soil, marking only the second time they've failed to score in front of their own fans in home league matches this term.
These two met three times in 2023 with Celtic victorious in two of the fixtures and St Mirren holding the hosts to a draw on this ground in last season's May visit. Their 2023/24 head-to-head produced a 2-1 win for the reigning champions and considering how the home side have the joint-third highest goals tally in the division behind only Celtic and Rangers, we're happy to take them to score in Tuesday's 5pm televised clash.
Matt O'Riley Anytime Goalscorer
Goalscoring machine Matt O'Riley is averaging almost a goal every two games in the SPL this campaign, immediately offering slight value for this bet at 23/10. The Danish international has struck nine times in 20 league appearances so far, sitting third to Lawrence Shankland and James Tavernier in the Scottish top flight's goal standings.
The 23-year-old midfielder has hit the second-most shots in the division with a tally of 58 and has seen 22 of these efforts hit the target - a total only bettered by SPL top scorer Shankland and Rangers' trigger happy Cyriel Dessers. Against a St Mirren side who aren't exactly at their best right now, we believe O'Riley can capitalise on these circumstances with a 10th goal of the season.
