Bet on Celtic vs St Mirren

Bhoys Too Hot to Handle on Home Turf

Celtic won their 55^th Premiership title last term, finishing miles clear of fierce rivals Rangers. The Hoops have dominated Scottish football over the past 15 years or so, only failing to win the title once since 2011.

Celtic will fancy their chances of retaining their crown this term, and the Hoops begin the 2025-26 season as the title favourites. Rodgers’ side are priced at 1.40, while Russell Martin’s Gers are available at 3.00.

Staying in Scotland’s top tier will be St Mirren’s ultimate ambition this season, though Stephen Robinson’s men could be aiming a little higher. The Buddies finished in sixth place last term, collecting 50 points from 38 games.

St Mirren would love to secure a positive result at Celtic Park on the opening weekend, but getting anything from the home of the champions will be a monumental task. Nevertheless, can the Saints cause an upset in Glasgow?

Celtic vs St Mirren Betting Odds

Celtic are the overwhelming favourites to start with maximum points, priced at just 1.16 to win. However, they failed to beat the Paisley club when they last met at Celtic Park.

St Mirren are huge underdogs in Parkhead, with the bookmakers offering 15.00 for a shock away win. However, if you fancy backing the Buddies to pick up another draw, 7.00 is your price.

Celtic Win – 1.16

Celtic vs St Mirren Betting Tips & Predictions

The champions should be too hot to handle at Celtic Park, and we are backing the Hoops to start the new campaign with a big home victory. You can get 3.27 for the hosts to win -3.

This should be a walk in the park for the Bhoys, and there is good value in 2.10 for the home team to win both halves.
