Celtic Aim for Redemption as They Face St Mirren at Paradise
Celtic is set to host St Mirren at Paradise this afternoon, looking to bounce back from a tough defeat in the recent Glasgow Derby at Ibrox. Despite their 11-point advantage at the top of the Scottish Premiership, Brendan Rodgers' team will be eager to regain their momentum and deliver a solid performance against the visitors from Paisley.
With the defeat to Rangers still fresh in their minds, Celtic will want to show their character and quickly put that setback behind them. To do so, Rodgers is expected to make several changes to the lineup that played mid-week. In goal, Kasper Schmeichel will get the nod as he looks to recover from a rare loss in Celtic colours. At the back, Liam Scales, who struggled in the last match, is likely to make way for Auston Trusty, who will partner Cameron Carter-Vickers in central defence.

The left-back position is a point of decision for Rodgers. Alex Valle could get a start, but Greg Taylor may keep his place in the starting XI. On the right, Alistair Johnston is set to continue. In midfield, the familiar presence of captain Callum McGregor will anchor the team, alongside Paulo Bernardo and Arne Engels. The intensity of the season and the number of fixtures means Rodgers will continue rotating the midfield, so Luke McCowan and Reo Hatate could be options off the bench.
Up front, the dangerous Kyogo Furuhashi will likely lead the line, supported by Daizen Maeda and Nicolas Kühn on the wings. The attacking trio will be crucial as Celtic aims to break down St Mirren's defence and dominate possession. The lineup might look like this: Schmeichel; Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Valle; McGregor, Engels, Bernardo; Kühn, Kyogo, Maeda.
Referee Grant Irvine will take charge of the match, assisted by Jonathan Bell and Graham McNeillie. In the VAR room, Andrew Dallas and Gary Hilland will oversee any potential incidents. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:00 PM (Celtic Park Time), with coverage beginning 30 minutes earlier on Celtic TV.
