Celtic vs St Mirren LIVE as shock team rumour floats around outside Celtic Park

The incredible record of two defeats in 50 games during 2024 left Celtic with their chin out heading to Ibrox to face Rangers in the first fixture of this calendar year.

However, no one could have guessed Philippe Clement and his inconsistent crew could have wiped the floor with Scottish football's dominant force in such a way. It was 3-0 but there were new records for shots for and against Brendan Rodgers' side - it was a beatdown and questions need addressed.

Now Celtic have dusted themselves down and are aiming to serve up something special against St Mirren. Stephen Robinson is adamant the wounded champions aren't his concern, as he plots a famous result for the Buddies.

Saints celebrated a famous win here four years ago but results in Glasgow's east end are a rarity. Rodgers is ready to freshen his team up as he seeks a victory and a display that befits their status as Scottish football's top dogs.

You won't miss any of the drama LIVE with us. Here we go.

Punters in the turnstiles hear of the Ranger star's hat-trick, no panic yet in the east end, of course, but Rangers remain on the radar.

A day for the hoose, unless you are at the game!

But for those enjoying home comforts, or checking in at work (psst, we won't tell), we have you covered.

Team news is fast approaching.

Yes, changes are needed, but the man who masterminded a run of two defeats in 50 plus bagging three trophies in a calendar year won't be swayed by the court of public opinion.

Auston Tusty is a fascinating one, he hasn't played since being hooked at Hampden and fans want him back in. Luke McCowan also feels another one who is due a start.

But will Liam Scales and Reo Hatate, viewed as the biggest sinners at Ibrox, make way?
