LAST TIME OUT: SAINTS

It was a disappointing afternoon for the Saints in the capital on Saturday afternoon as we fell to a 3-0 defeat against Hibs.

Despite a solid start to the game, the hosts seized the upper hand in the 18th minute when Junior Hoilett curled an effort from the edge of the box into the top corner.

The lead was doubled just shy of the half hour mark, with attacker Martin Boyle receiving the ball before keeping his composure to strike low beyond goalkeeper Andy Fisher.

Hibs wrapped up the three points deep into stoppage time through Kieron Bowie’s penalty.

LAST TIME OUT: CELTIC

Celtic ran out comfortable winners at home to Hearts last Saturday, with all of their goals scored in the opening half.

Daizen Maeda opened the scoring with 17 minutes on the clock before Jota doubled the advantage with 24 minutes played.

It was three before the break when Maeda converted Nicolas Kuhn's cross. Celtic would have chances to extend their lead after the break, but the scoreline remained at three.
