Here is how we predict Celtic and St Mirren will line up this weekend:

To be played on Sunday 5th March 2017 at 12:30. Venue: Celtic Park,

Odds: Celtic 1/18, Draw 12/1, St Mirren 40/1

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers

Celtic welcome St Mirren to Celtic Park on Sunday for their Scottish Cup quarter-final clash.

The Bhoys have all but wrapped up the league so there can be no excuses for going all out for the cup and given their 6-0 demolition of Inverness in the previous round they should have too much for a team currently bottom of the Scottish Championship.

In the last round Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers went strong, and while he will not be taking a victory over his lower league opponents for granted there could be starts for some of the Bhoys’ fringe players, especially when you consider the club played earlier this week.

Leigh Griffiths will be hoping for a start following his return from injury, as will Emilio Izaguirre, while Callum McGregor should start after having to make do with cameo appearances off the bench in recent weeks.

With all that in mind here is how we predict Celtic will line up for Sunday’s clash as they continue their impressive campaign:
