Celtic will take on St Mirren in a Scottish Premiership fixture at the SMISA Stadium on Tuesday. Celtic have an eight-point advantage at the top of the league table as they hope to kick off 2024 with a win.
Celtic have won their last three games and will be confident of making it four wins in a row. They will be high on confidence after a 2-1 win over rivals Rangers in their most recent outing.
St Mirren just ended a run of three winless games with a 3-0 win over Aberdeen, giving them renewed hope of climbing up the table from the fifth spot. A positive result against Celtic, however, will be hard to achieve. Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
