St Mirren’s 3-5-2 Team News for 8pm kick-off against Celtic

Stephen Robinson has named his St Mirren side to take on Celtic this evening in Paisley as the Buddies players look to impress their manager against the Hoops with an eye on next month’s Premier Sports Cup final at Hampden Park…

The Saints boss will go with their usual 3-5-2 with the wingbacks sitting deep as they look to respect the visitor’s opportunities on their tight little pitch near Glasgow Airport.

George is in goals and the back three are Miguel Freckleton, Gogic and former Celtic Marcus Fraser. The midfield five for St Mirre, right to left, looks like being John, Baccus, Conor, Killan and Richards with N’Lundulu and Madron providing the goal threat up top for the Paisley Saints.

Robinson has named the following St Mirren substitutes – Ayunga, Dijksteel, Donnelly, Idowu, King, Sobowale and Taylor.

A reminder that the Celtic team is as follows:

Kasper Schmeichel will put aside his World Cup disappointment at Hampden on Tuesday night against Scotland to take the gloves for Celtic this evening behind a back-four of Anthony Ralston, Auston Trusty, Liam Scales and Scotland’s Hampden hero Kieran Tierney.

In the middle of the park the Celtic captain Callum McGregor is joined by Reo Hatate and Arne Engels with the forward line for Celtic this evening consisting of Daizen Maeda, Johnny Kenny and Sebastian Tounekti.

On the bench for Celtic this evening are Sinisalo; Nygren, Balikwisha, Yang, McCowan, Shin Yamada, Bernardo, Murray and Donovan and it’s certainly nice to see Colby fit enough to be involved after suffering that horror challenge in Gibraltar last Sunday playing for Scotland U21s.

Kick-off is 8pm, enjoy the match and of course COYBIG!
