Despite losing out to St Mirren in the reverse fixture earlier this season, Celtic will be regarded as firm favourites to claim maximum points on Wednesday considering their form heading into this fixture. The Hoops have been scoring goals for fun on home soil in recent months and we expect them to have more joy in the final third against a Buddies outfit who have kept only one clean sheet in their last 10 matches.
