Team’s Up – Stephen Robinson names St Mirren Starting XI

St Mirren Stephen Robinson manager has named his side for this afternoon’s game against Celtic. The Scottish Champions arrive looking to extend their lead at the top of the table to five points after Rangers reduced the advantage with a narrow win over Dundee United yesterday.

The Paisley outfit sit 8th in the table and have enjoyed decent results after a difficult start to the season. They will be robust and aggressive in their defending. They are going to be a tough unit to break down but Ange gets the team playing how he wants, surely it will be a long afternoon for the hosts.

The Saints line up is as follows:

1. Carson
22. Fraser
31. Gallagher
18. Dunne
23. Strain
17. Baccus
16. Erhahon
6. O’Hara (C)
3. Tanser
7. Ayunga
10. Main
