We said: Celtic 3-0 St Mirren

Despite the loss to St Mirren in September, Celtic have proven that they are a vastly superior team to their opponents this weekend, and we do not foresee them having any trouble in putting their name into the hat for the next round. As such, it is not likely to be a matter of whether Celtic win, rather how many they win by, and we expect them to cruise home to a very comfortable victory. Read more.
