Celtic vs St Mirren Prediction: Hoops to triumph at Hampden

For the second time in the space of eight days, Celtic and St Mirren meet for a game of football. Only this time it's in the Scottish Cup semi-finals at Hampden, which takes place on Sunday (14:00 BST, Premier Sports 1).

Celtic were 1-0 winners at home in last week's Scottish Premiership clash, so the Buddies will be out for revenge. Below you will find my Celtic vs St Mirren predictions, complete with team news and match odds.

Celtic vs St Mirren Odds

Celtic are the 1/3 favourites to win this game in regulation time. They have beaten St Mirren three times this term, each of them ending 1-0. T the correct score here is priced at 15/2.

St Mirren did come out on top when they met in the Scottish League Cup back in December, and they are 15/2 to prevail inside 90 minutes.

The draw can be backed at 4/1.

Match Result & Total Goals Over/Under 2.5 - Celtic & Under @ 16/5

Having beaten the Buddies just last weekend, Celtic have a massive psychological advantage coming into Sunday's tie, and I think they are capable of recording their fourth win of the campaign against St Mirren.

While there's still work to be done in defending their Scottish Premiership title, the Hoops will want to ensure that they can at least end the current campaign with one piece of silverware. They haven't had a trophy-less season since 2020/21.

Celtic have beaten their opponents three times in the league this term, but St Mirren did claim a home win when they met in the Scottish League Cup in December. There were four goals on that occasion, but each of Celtic's three triumphs were by a 1-0 scoreline.

For that reason, I'm adding Under 2.5 Goals to a Celtic win for a 16/5 (implied probability of 23.8%) price.

Which Team To Score - Only Celtic @ 13/10

Seeing as Celtic have won this fixture three times and have kept as many clean sheets along the way, backing them to be the only team on the scoresheet on Sunday looks a smart play.

St Mirren may have tasted success in the Scottish League Cup this term, but I think they are going to see their quest for a domestic double ended by Celtic at Hampden. With question marks still remaining over the Bhoys' league title credentials, they can't allow any mistakes in this Scottish Cup semi-final.
