Celtic 1, St Mirren 0 - 3rd August, 2025
The Champions open an exciting new Scottish season with a hard-fought win.
Flag Day, Paul McStay, tributes to John Clark and John Fallon, and three points!
Credit to Steven Robinson’s St Mirren for a very compact, disciplined and defensively solid display.
This was similar to other recent home matches against this opponent.
Celtic struggled until James Forrest came on and, whilst creating no chances nor having any shots at goal, drove the Saints backwards.
In truth, many familiar weaknesses were evident, but Kieran Tierney made a highly competent return, whilst some though Daizen Maeda subdued.
Have a look at the data before committing to that.
Another consistent stalwart pipped him to Bhoy of the Match, however.
