After drawing with Hibernian last time out, chasers Rangers spared their blushes as they also played out a surprising draw. As such, Celtic retained their table-topping status and should maintain their gap tonight too, as they welcome a middling St. Mirren side.

No side scored as many as Celtic’s 60 league goals so far, that equates to 2.14 per-match on average and their overall league games averaged 2.8 total goals per-match, putting them in the top-three in the division for that statistic.

The main selection would have won in seven of the last eight home H2H meetings, with Celtic scoring a whopping average of 3.6 goals per-match across that period, suggesting this could be yet another straightforward landslide victory for the 51-time Scottish champions.

A long night ahead of St Mirren
This will be visiting manager Stephen Robinson’s first meeting with Celtic as St Mirren manager, though he has faced them on 13 prior occasions while in the Motherwell hotseat (D3, L10). Those games were often entertaining affairs, with six of the last seven producing at least three goals.

While St Mirren are on a four-game unbeaten streak of away games, a trip to Celtic Park is a different proposition altogether, given that the top-two are cut adrift from the rest of the division by an 18-point gap.

My prediction in this clash is a high-scoring game involving over 2.5 total goals. For the correct score prediction, I am siding with the hosts to bury the ghosts of some recently questionable performances with a commanding 3-0 success.

在上次和希比尼安打成平局后，追球手游骑兵没有脸红，他们也打出了一场令人惊讶的平局。这样，凯尔特人保持了他们的榜首地位，今晚也应该保持他们的差距，因为他们欢迎一支中等的圣米伦球队。

迄今为止，没有哪支球队能像凯尔特人队那样在联赛中打进60个进球，平均每场2.14个，而他们整个联赛的场均进球2.8个，在该统计数据上，他们在联赛中排名前三。

在过去的八场主场H2H比赛中，主队有七场获胜，凯尔特人在这段时间内场均进球3.6个，这意味着这可能是这支曾经51次夺冠的苏格兰球队的又一次直接的压倒性胜利。

圣米伦前的漫漫长夜
这将是客队主教练斯蒂芬·罗宾逊作为圣米伦主教练第一次与凯尔特人的会面，尽管他之前在马瑟韦尔的热身赛上曾13次与凯尔特人交锋(D3, L10)。这些比赛通常都是娱乐性的，最后七场比赛中有六场至少进了三个球。

虽然圣米伦队已经保持了四场不败的客场战绩，但去凯尔特公园却是一个完全不同的选择，因为这两支球队与联赛其他球队之间的差距已经达到了18分。

我预测这场比赛将是一场总进球超过2.5个的高得分比赛。为了准确预测比分，我和主持人站在一起，以3-0的压倒性胜利埋葬了最近一些有问题的表现的幽灵。
