ST Johnstone vs Celtic Prediction (09.09.2026)

Somewhat surprisingly, Celtic was eliminated in the Champions League playoffs. However, excluding the second match against LASK Linz, the team's overall performance is quite stable. Celtic has won each of its first five matches of the new season in Scotland and is currently leading the standings.

Now Celtic visits St. Johnstone, who has been alternating between wins and losses so far, with one draw. Overall, however, the team is a solid home side and will rely on this to challenge their opponent. I don’t think St. Johnstone will manage to win, and even earning a point may prove to be a difficult task, but I expect the hosts to score at least one goal.

Celtic remains the favorite, and when looking for an outright winner, I would give the edge to the visitors. However, I find the possibility of seeing goals at both ends more interesting. St. Johnstone has their chances to score at home, while given Celtic's form, I also expect a goal from the visitors.
