St. Mirren will welcome Celtic to the SMISA Stadium for a Scottish Cup fifth round tie on Sunday (February 11th).
The home side are coming into the game off a routine 2-0 victory over Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership at the same venue in midweek. Mikael Mandron and Toyosi Olusanya scored second half goals to guide their side to the win.
Celtic, meanwhile, claimed a 2-1 away victory over Hibernian. Adam Idah scored a brace, with his goals coming in either half from the spot, including an injury time winner after Dylan Lewitt had drawn the game level on the hour-mark.
The Hoops will now turn their focus to the cup and booked their spot at this stage with a 5-0 thrashing of Buckie Thistle in the last round. St. Mirren qualified with a 1-0 home win over Queen of the South.

St. Mirren vs Celtic Prediction
St. Mirren come into this game in fine form, having won their last two games on the bounce. However, to advance to the next round, The Buddies will have to do something they have not done in any of the last five head-to-head games, win against Celtic.
Brendan Rodgers’ side have rebounded from blips earlier in the season and have not lost any of their last eight. They come into this tie as heavy favorites but will be wary of underestimating their opponents, having suffered a shock elimination to Kilmarnock in the second round of the Scottish League Cup early in the season.
However, their current form does not suggest an upset is in the making. We are tipping Celtic to progress with a comfortable win.
Prediction: St. Mirren 0-3 Celtic
