- Celtic team news: Manager Martin O’Neill continues to handle a tough situation at right-back, with Colby Donovan battling a hamstring problem. Alistair Johnston is working his way back to full fitness after a long time out, but O’Neill may need to rely on experienced defender Anthony Ralston for the high-stakes encounter.
- St Mirren team news: St Mirren are anxiously monitoring the fitness of goalkeeper Shamal George, who has been extremely influential between the sticks for his side. Interim manager Craig McLeish conceded that the injury needed to be “assessed” and the club will continue to “take precautions” ahead of kick-off.
- Head-to-head record: Historically, the Glasgow outfit have dominated this fixture, including a 1-0 victory just last weekend on April 11. However, St Mirren have proved stubborn opponents in recent meetings and will likely look to keep it tight again here.
- Match importance: This fixture represents a Scottish Cup semi-final, meaning both clubs have an enormous incentive to secure an opportunity to lift the trophy. While league form favours Celtic, St Mirren caused an upset against the Hoops in the League Cup final in December 2025, demonstrating that form counts for little in high-pressure encounters.
