On Wednesday evening, Celtic were crowned Scottish champions in emphatic fashion as they defeated Kilmarnock 5-0 at Rugby Park to make it three league titles in a row.

They will be presented with the Premiership trophy this Saturday following the final game of the campaign against St Mirren.

Celtic current form

The Hoops have taken advantage of several slip-ups from Rangers to power themselves to the title, with five victories in a row including against their arch-rivals last weekend.

In that run of five wins in a row, they have scored no less than 13 goals.

St Mirren current form

St Mirren have been poor since the split as they have just one victory to their name out of the last five matches, which came against Dundee at the beginning of May.

Since the split, they have also lost three against Celtic, Rangers and Kilmarnock and drawn with Hearts.

Celtic vs St Mirren Team News

The Celtic squad has a clean bill of health in terms of injuries but with the title already secured, Brendan Rodgers might take the opportunity to rest a few players ahead of the Scottish Cup final next weekend.

There are three definite absentees for St Mirren - Hyeok-Kyu Kwon (on loan from Celtic), Greg Kiltie and Jonah Ayunga.

Scoreline Prediction

It will be a party atmosphere at Celtic Park and even if Rodgers rests some key men, the hosts should have enough to defeat out-of-form St Mirren.

Celtic 3-1 St Mirren
