Celtic is fresh off their 0-2 loss against St. Mirren. Mark O’Hara struck first for St. Mirren in the 43rd minute on a feed from Ryan Strain, then Jonah Ayunga added another in the 53rd minute In the end, Celtic was frustrated by St. Mirren’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. St. Mirren ended the match with the shutout victory. Celtic should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches, while 8th placed Motherwell is fresh off their 0-3 loss against Hearts.

Hearts ended the match with the shutout victory. Motherwell is looking for direction having 3 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
