St. Mirren and Celtic will battle for three points in a Scottish Premiership matchday 23 fixture on Sunday.
The hosts come into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw away to St. Johnstone last weekend. Alex Gogic scored an 86th-minute leveler for the visitors after their 10-man hosts went ahead through Zak Rudden in the 75th minute.
Celtic claimed a 2-1 victory over arch-rivals Rangers in the Scottish League Cup final. Kyogo Furuhashi scored a brace to give the Bhoys a two-goal lead. Alfredo Morelos halved the deficit in the 64th minute but the Hoops held on to win a 31st League Cup title.
Ange Postecoglou's side will turn their attention to league action, where they hold a nine-point advantage at the summit, having garnered 73 points from 26 matches. St. Mirren sit in the fifth spot with 37 points to their name from 27 games.
