Celtic face St. Mirren at Celtic Park on Saturday in the final match of the Scottish Premiership season, with the hosts set to celebrate their fourth consecutive league title in front of their home fans. Brendan Rodgers’ side have enjoyed a dominant campaign, clinching the title with four games to spare and maintaining impressive form with five wins and a draw in their last six matches.
Celtic’s focus will soon shift to the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen, where they could secure a sixth domestic treble in nine seasons, but for now, the attention is on finishing the league season on a high and lifting the trophy after the final whistle.
Celtic and St Mirren will face off at Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon for the final match of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership season. The hosts will aim to celebrate their league title triumph with a victory, while the visitors will look to spoil the trophy celebrations and move into fifth on the final day.
Celtic have had another outstanding domestic season, clinching the Scottish League Cup (beating Rangers in a penalty shootout in the final) and securing the Scottish Premiership title with four games remaining.
The Bhoys, after Aberdeen faltered following matchday 11, never appeared at risk of relinquishing top spot in the league, eventually sealing it with a commanding 5-0 win over Dundee United in their first post-split fixture.
While that will certainly be classed as a successful season, Celtic still have their sights set on one final trophy, with Brendan Rodgers' men set to compete in the Scottish FA Cup final next weekend against Aberdeen, where the Bhoys could claim a sixth domestic treble in the last nine campaigns.
Despite already securing the Scottish Premiership, Celtic have maintained their positive form, with the Bhoys now heading into this one with five wins and one draw in their last six, and Rodgers will look to carry that momentum into the final.
The Bhoys have every reason to be full of confidence going into Saturday's clash with St Mirren, as Celtic have won all of the last eight clashes and are undefeated in the past 12 encounters.
St Mirren got off to a slow start this season, with Stephen Robinson's side winning only two of their first 10 league games, leaving them sat at the bottom of the table.
However, a strong run of form propelled the Saints up the table, putting them in contention for a top-six finish on the final day, where a dramatic 3-2 win over Ross County - sealed by Roland Idowu's 86th-minute winner - saw St Mirren overtake Motherwell and Hearts to claim sixth place.
Despite remaining unbeaten in the post-split fixtures with two wins and two draws, St Mirren have fallen short of securing a European spot, still four points behind fourth-placed Aberdeen, but they could climb to fifth depending on the final day's results.
